Pros

Fast pacing company, so there is quite a potential for learning opportunities. Opportunity to work in latest technology stack.

Cons

1) No respect for employees work life balance. 2) Projects are thrown at employees randomly with aggressive deadlines which obviously calls for working over the weekends and late nights. Its part of Chewy culture. 3) Higher management has their favorites, so promotions are based on closeness with higher ups than real work. 4) Company discourages work from home, so many folks spend good time commuting than actually working.

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.
