Candidates describing Chewy analyst-track interviews (business analyst, business operations analyst and strategy analyst titles) say the process is more conversational than technical. All three began with a recruiter phone screen. From there, the paths differ. One candidate had three virtual interviews with HR and Operations. Another had a hiring manager video call, then cross-functional leaders and an HR representative. A third had a short case study followed by a four-part loop with the hiring manager and team leads.
The most consistent theme is behavioral questions with specific examples. Candidates were asked about meeting and exceeding a goal, making a judgment call with incomplete information, learning something new, and bringing multiple teams together across adversarial lines. Two candidates also described questions about using data to drive decisions or manage priorities. One was asked why they wanted to work at Chewy and which operating principle they leverage most versus find most challenging.
The business side showed up in a few ways. One candidate was asked which KPIs they would track to measure the health of a category and what makes a brand successful. A business case was woven into that process. In another account, the case study was described as not overly complicated but needing structured thinking. Candidates did not describe heavy technical or coding screens, and one said the technical bar was not high with relevant experience.
Experience quality varied. One person found the interviewers welcoming and engaged, while another found some of them going through the motions. Prepare STAR stories, a clear answer on Chewy's principles, and a simple framework for choosing and defending metrics. The evidence is limited to three reports, so treat the stage order as typical rather than fixed.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Chewy process.
The recruiter phone screen was pretty straightforward—about 30 minutes of getting to know me and the role. They were friendly and genuinely interested, which set a positive tone. After that came a case study, which wasn't overly complicated but definitely required some structured thinking. Then I moved into what felt like the real gauntlet: a four-part loop interview with the hiring manager and several team leads, totaling around 45 minutes. The vibe was mixed. Some interviewers were really engaged and easy to talk to, asking behavioral questions about times I'd used data to drive decisions or gone above and beyond. Others felt like they were just going through the motions, asking surface-level questions without much follow-up. The whole process moved quickly—they were responsive between rounds, which I appreciated. What struck me most was the sheer volume of interviews for what seemed like a straightforward analyst role, and the salary they were offering didn't quite match the effort required. Some interviewers were clearly invested in the conversation, but at least one of the senior folks seemed checked out. The technical bar wasn't particularly high if you had relevant experience, but the inconsistency in interviewer engagement made it hard to get a read on what they actually valued. I ultimately declined the offer—the process left me feeling like the team dynamic might be a bit fragmented.
Prep tip from this candidate
Prepare specific examples of data-driven decisions and times you exceeded expectations, as these behavioral questions came up across multiple rounds. The case study component likely focused on business analysis rather than heavy technical depth, so practicing structuring analyses and communicating findings clearly will serve you better than drilling algorithms.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
All three candidates report starting with a recruiter phone screen. One describes it as about 30 minutes of getting to know them and the role. Another says the recruiter laid out the role, team structure and next steps. Expect background and fit questions rather than technical depth.
One candidate had a video call with the hiring manager, who explained the role in detail before asking questions. That candidate was asked which KPIs they would track to measure the health of a category. Others report hiring manager involvement in later loop interviews, so the timing may vary.
Candidates report a business case element in two of the three accounts. One describes a separate case study that was not overly complicated but needed structured thinking. Another describes a business case woven into the interviews to show their thought process. It may favor clear structure and communication over advanced technical skills.
Candidates describe virtual interviews with HR, Operations, cross-functional leaders or team leads. One reports three such interviews, and another a four-part loop. Questions covered exceeding goals, judgment calls, learning new things, cross-team collaboration, data-driven decisions, and Chewy's operating principles.
Candidates report different outcomes: one accepted an offer, one declined an offer, and one did not report an outcome. Candidates describe responsive communication between rounds, and two described the process as quick. Total timing was not explicitly reported, so confirm the schedule with your recruiter.
