Entrevista
I had a phone screen with an engineering manager at Chewy. He asked about my current experience and projects that i've worked on recently. I was also asked 1 behavioral question: "Tell me about an instance when you came up with a simple solution to a complex problem". I was able to provide an instance for this.
After spending about 10 - 15 mins on the behavioral and background-related question, we went into the coding question. I was asked 1 leetcode medium/hard kind of a question. I was able to write a code for this and it worked well for the scenarios that were provided. I ran it several times to make sure that the corner cases were covered. I am not sure if he understood the solution very well. He asked me to explain different parts of the code a couple of times.
Overall, i think i did well in the interview. However, he just ghosted me after that. I did send him a follow up email a week later, but didnt get any reply. Not sure what was expected in the interview

Chewy has multiple fulfillment centers across the US. Each fulfillment center is represented by
coordinates on the map.
Design an algorithm that takes a list of FC coordinates and returns a matrix where each element represents location on
the map and contains a distance to the closest fulfillment center.
For simplicity, assume that only vertical and horizontal moves are allowed on the map.
Example input:
map size 4x6
fulfillment centers locations (0 based) - (1,2), (3,3)
Output:
3 2 1 2 3 4
2 1 0 1 2 3
3 2 1 1 2 3
3 2 1 0 1 2

Recruiters were super helpful and accommodated my request to reschedule the interview (because of personal matters). All interviewers were very friendly and the interview was more like a discussion with your teammate.

Phone screen round: LC medium question (on arrays). Interviewer asked about the time complexity and asked to optimize. Onsite round of interviews: (there were 4 interviews) 1. LC medium problem on string manipulation. Interviewer asked few behavioral type questions as well. 2. This interview was about code debugging and writing test cases to meet the requirements. 3. System design interview. Interviewer asked to design Twitter clone. 4. Behavioral round with the Director of Engineering. He asked 3 "Tell me about a time..." type questions and asked follow-up questions to know more about the scenario that I mentioned. Overall, very good interview process. Expect behavioral type questions in all rounds. It would be great to prepare "what could you have done differently in project X that you talked about" questions.

Initial phone screening with a recruiter, followed by an hour technical review using HackerRank. Virtual onsite consisted of debugging a parking lot, coding (leetcode/ return top K elements), system design (reservation app), and behavioral round.
The interviewers were okay. Some more personable/engaging than others. Overall long process for a non MAANG company. Ultimately I tuned down the offer because I couldn’t look past the negative company reviews

Behavioral round was focused on “customer first” and how your previous experiences related to that

The interview process was very similar to Amazon. One screening followed by one day of onsite. The onsite had one system design, one coding and one behavioral interview. The interviewers were friendly and I cleared all rounds with flying colors. The only negative thing was the recruiter experience. I had discussed my minimum expectations with the recruiter before starting the interview process. After hearing my expectations, I was recalibrated for Sr Engineer role from a SDE 2 role. But despite clearing the Sr SDE interview the offer given to me was way low balled. Less than what I make as a SDE 2 in my current organization and like 30% less than my expectations. In the end, the whole thing felt like a huge waste of time and resources for both parties and I would not be interested in interviewing with them again.
