I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chewy (Dania, FL) in Apr 2018
Interview
The interview process was really good, it started with an HR interview, who was smart and on point, she knew exactly what the IT team needed and screened accordingly. After that there was the phone interview with the hiring manager who was technically brilliant and well informed not only about what he was working on but about the IT world in general, he wanted the candidate to really be passionate about the position, he's interview had several SQL questions and a lot of BI questions, he definitely helped if I was stuck somewhere and that was nice to see this was followed by a phone interview with my immediate supervisor in the team who asked me about my work experiences and interests, after a week from that interview I was called up for a Face to Face interview at Dania Beach and introduced to the team, group of brilliant people each with superior technical skills and star studded work experiences, I was well prepared because of my research on the company and the interview panel in general, was tested on my SQL, SAS and Statistical skills in the interview.
Meanwhile Chewy had made sure my trip was comfortable all the way and had made excellent arrangements for my travel and stay.
Overall a great experience with some intense discussion about Data Sciences and IT in general. My advice be prepared make sure you have read the job description out loud several times to get a feel for it and have a passion for the same, be honest and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Interview
Applied online and received a call about 3 weeks later. We first had a screening phone interview where they asked things like "Why chewy".
About a week later there was a technical round scheduled with an engineer on the team. During this round I was presented with an easy hacker rank question and was able to move forward.
The final round was a set of 4 interviews, 3 of which were technical and 1 behavioral. The technical interviews involved debugging existing applications and talking through the design of a basic CRUD application. Each of these interviews was 1 hour long and they spanned over 2 days.
Overall, everyone was pretty respectful and friendly throughout the whole process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chewy (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
A phone call with behavioral questions about current work experience. Then a 10 minute multiple choice test with 20 questions about Java. Questions were on very specific parts of Java that I have not used before like Vector classes and different implementations of Vector classes.
On the initial call, the screener told me that the coding interview would be a series of coding questions on a certain skills-testing website, so that is what I prepared for. It wasn’t that at all— the interviewer plonked me down in an empty online environment that I wasn’t familiar with and basically said “build a web app, go” with very little guidance. I wasted too much time trying to figure out how to import different packages into the environment while the interviewer was very unclear on if that’s what he expected me to do or not. Then he said “time’s up” and was not interested in hearing any more about my thought process.
