Wayfair reviews

1) Learning and development opportunities are plentiful. There are courses taught by Wayfair employees on everything from analytics 101 to SQL to how to have a senior presence to how to a seminar on if business school is right for you. The focus here is really on developing the recent grads. I would say 67+% of our company is made up of recent grads. (more on this in the cons section later) 2) Unlimited free snacks. This includes chips, cookies, granola, breakfast bars, etc. We get fruit about 2x a week but it goes quickly. 3) Pod outings. Relatively fun depending on your pod. 4) The people. They are a HUGE pro and one of the biggest reasons why people stay at Wayfair instead of moving on to another company for as long as they do. However, in recent times, because people are starting to leave hordes due to the cons below, this has become less of a reason for people to stay. Some of the smartest, nicest, interesting, and most humble people work at Wayfair. Wayfair, however, doesn't seem to recognize this and does a pitiful job at encouraging their people to stay. Wayfair spends an incredible amount of time and money hiring the best talent but do nothing to retain them. Most of the time, they even push people out (more on this in the con section.) 5) Lateral moves are easy and encouraged. If you have the qualifications, the passion, and the desire, you can easily move to another department. A typical move to another department takes about 2 weeks. People switch between buying, category management, and site merchandising all the time.

Good environment and the pod outings are fun. It is also pretty laid back.
