Chewse Wisely - Anonymous employee Chewse Employee Review

Chewse touts itself on a foundation of "authentic connection", "emotional intelligence", and "tough conversations that go deeper than the toes"- at least that's what I was sold on when interviewing with the company. Recently, however, it seems management, has thrown these values to the wayside in order to progress the company. The change in culture feels insincere and is resulting in general discontent amongst employees. The company has been a sinking ship for many months now, but a lack of transparency between upper-level management and individual contributors painted a very positive picture on grim numbers, progress, and results. Only those who look at Chewse with the most positive eye are rewarded, and favorites are often played. It is easy to feel unheard when expressing real concerns regarding the disorganization of the company. Due to an ever-growing team and tight budget, the office space is cluttered and generally unproductive. It's nearly impossible to get work done to the level of noise. Additionally, the office location is in the SoMa of SF, which is constantly facing disparity. For a "love" company, I wish Chewse did more to be involved in the community they occupy.
