A startup that made it

Pros

I've been at a number of startups, and had my reservations of working at a big company, but one thing that felt instantly familiar about Wayfair is that creative, intense, "get stuff done" vibe that many of us at small companies have grown to love. This is a small company that grew into a big one but hasn't forgotten its past along the way. There have been a number of challenges and bumps in its growth curve, but it's kept creativity and ambition as its north star, which has been reassuring. The company's growth rate is crazy, but it means that there's room for anyone with a smart idea to move up.

Cons

The office is everything we love and hate about open offices -- lots room for communication, but also lots of noise that can make it hard to focus. There are ways to work around it, but it can be pretty offputting in the outset, esp. if you're coming from a smaller company with a less dense office. There is one company culture, but as you may imagine in a 7000+ person company, each team and department is going to be a little different, and some are more functional/high performing than others. Take company wide reviews here with a grain of salt, both pro and con. If you do interview or dip your toe in, dig in to how your group or team operates and what they value.

Pros

Lots of smart people, also lots of really good people Where else in the Northeast can you find a company at this scale growing this fast? Dynamic, nimble, and TONS of opportunity to have an impact.

Cons

If you're looking for something predictable, Wayfair isn't the place for you!

Pros

Great people who care about learning and development of their employees. Outstanding benefits and incentives (free snacks, coffee and monthly pod outings). Paid time off is a nice bonus.

Cons

Pay is fairly low and the climb to higher pay is a long journey. Work can sometimes be monotonous, performance based almost entirely on metrics.
