Pros

A true meritocracy, Wayfair encourages all employees to share their ideas and contribute to make the company succeed. There's great access to senior leadership, plenty of networking and social opportunities (after-work panels, sports leagues, volunteering opportunities, etc.), and a ton of responsibility from day one. The new office space in the Copley Place Mall is beautiful, with open seating, gorgeous Wayfair products, and plenty of conference room/break room spaces. The company is growing like crazy (just look at the quarterly earning statements), so it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now. There aren't a lot of other companies that are public, growing at a similar rate, and that have the market cap that Wayfair has. As it continues to open more offices and grow teams, opportunities abound.

Cons

There aren't a lot, as long as you're a self-starter. Wayfair doesn't do a lot of hand-holding, so if you're looking for automatic promotions, career paths that are spelled out for you, or other things like that, you may be a bit disappointed. Additionally, internal planning still leaves something to be desired. The company's growing really fast, and that's great; but sometimes things get overlooked and we need to play catch up to accommodate that growth. It can be frustrating, but in a lot of ways, that's what makes it fun and exciting, too.

Pros

fun atmosphere, young company. Was a great place to work in the early days

Cons

Pay is way below industry and does not improve as you move up. Great place for your first job after college, but I recommend leaving after about a year and a half to a company that will appreciate you more.
