Pros

Still hybrid, 3 days in office and work flexibility depending on the team you are on. 20% Chewy discount for employees.

Cons

Distinct lack of leadership direction stemming from C-suite down. Cross-functional orgs with very little synergy, competing priorities, and little bandwidth due to company downsizing. Rotating door of senior leadership causing re-orgs and shifting/conflicting priorities every quarter. Constant re-orgs contribute to sharp reduction in institutional knowledge ("brain drain") and constant "1 step forward, 2 steps back" company wide. Lack of advancement opportunity past C6 level (aka senior individual contributor) due to extremely top heavy management. Lack of consistency in level/title vs scope of work, competency, and number of direct reports

Pros

Some perks such as pet adoption reimbursement, sort of flexible schedule, learning opportunities.

Cons

We have transitioned into the Chewy family recently and it started out promising but has quickly become quite the opposite. Management put in place to oversee the business (1 or 2 in particular) have been nothing but degrading and nasty to people - for things that were out of our hands due to direction of previous management. They did a reorg recently which had a lot of questionable moves and claimed they want to go deeper in expertise but that is not the case here. There are many people in roles that they shouldn’t be. The reorg also left many people in lower roles than what their actually doing, probably to avoid paying appropriately. We are also being held to different standards than other parts of the business in terms of the quality of output - We’re producing better but it’s still not good enough. They claim to be getting us more resources but we have not seen that yet. They hired one marketing leader but what we need is a true GM and proper support staff to execute things.not only “leaders”.
