Pros

Excellent work environment - great leaders, great offices, the pay and benefits are excellent, and a generous stock grant program. Truly loved my time at this company.

Cons

First off - I was unfortunately laid off, so the Chewy is not immune to any of the tech layoffs throughout the industry. Super bummed to leave though, I liked my time here a lot. Second, Chewy was looking to hire exclusively ex-Amazon people, meaning the culture was beginning to change into a mini-Amazon, which is less than ideal.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
