    Come to P/SXM! We are still working through the pain points of the various acquisitions but new technology leadership looks promising. WLB is the best and the Oakland office and people are a highlight. Data science is well respected in the company.

    Very impressive offer for SXM/P. Don’t know about WLB at Chewy but it’s excellent at Pandora and the main reason I’m here. I’m a SWE not DS but feel free to DM if you have any particular questions about the company.

    I would pick Chewy. This is the right time to join Chewy to take advantage of recent stock decline, tremendous upside from here. Inflation & supply chain issues have affected stock prices across several companies recently, but things should improve later this year & back to growth. Also I have several friends at Chewy who all seem to be happy with wlb & comp.

    The peak of the pandemic was also the peak for many ecomm online only companies like chewy. Now things are cooling back down after realizing how competitive the ecomm space really is.

    I believe SXM/P will do well in coming years. Of course, do your own market research.
