Chewy Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Upper management in my division consistently made poor decisions and operated with little transparency. I witnessed project managers blatantly lie, and when caught, they doubled down rather than course-correct. Promotions felt like a moving target—satisfy one goal and a new one appears out of nowhere. The company launched an AI initiative by hiring two external leaders learning AI on the job, despite having plenty of capable internal talent. Meanwhile, raises and stock options for existing employees remain underwhelming. Perhaps most telling: anonymous upward reviews repeatedly showed management receiving subpar ratings year after year. My manager received the worst scores I've ever seen—nothing changed. A VP once called a meeting after a bad review to ask us how to improve his rating. The lack of accountability is staggering.

- forget promotions - salary structure revise basis on nonsense like since last year stock performed well, you will get less hike, I mean where was that logic when stock consistently performed bad for 2 years and people who joined at all time high, then nobody cares about giving hike anyways - management is not honest and always talk keep changing goals and teams without any idea what's going on. It's like org change every year lol.
