About the Program
The Chewy internship runs for ten weeks in the summer, and typically starts in early June.

Getting Hired Here
- “The interviews went nice and smoothly. I had a phone call interview with HR and then a behavioral and technical interview with two different engineers. Overall, it was a good experience.”
- “Very thorough interview process, but my recruiter assisted me very well to be set up for success.”
- “I participated in 4 separate rounds of interviews, but they all felt low stress compared to other organizations.”
- “There were two interviews. One was the phone call, which asked some standard questions in terms of availability and interest. The second comprised two 45-minute interviews. The first interview was in-depth and was related to Chewy's operating procedures. Second was shorter, more casual, but I think the interview depends on who is interviewing you.”
