Pros

Good place to gain experience - You get lots of experience from day one and are put in charge of projects that have an impact Great people - Everyone is young and excited about what they do Good PTO - Starting with 16 days and 18 after 1 year. If you make it to 5 years you have almost 6 weeks of vacation. Good benefits package Great office - New office is a really cool space and right in the middle of Back Bay As a plus: Quarterly parties are always really fun

Cons

Depending on the department salary can be wanting Need to be advocate for yourself if you want to get promoted, managers are often stretched too thin to recognize your progress Used to be a 9-5 job, this has changed since the push to go public, now days are ~10 hrs Blanket hired a lot of managers and senior managers in 2014 making it difficult to move up if you start at level one or two

Pros

Overall great company. Well run at the highest level, insane amounts of intelligence surround you, lots of challenging work, new technologies, huge scale growth to work with, and great opportunities if you're willing to put in the hours. Equity benefits are meaningful now that the company has gone public.

Cons

You are definitely a cog in the machine. They move people around from team to team to fit their needs. Some people seem locked into work they're bored of, other people get moved out of work they were enjoying into something they don't. Overall they try to make people happy though. Biggest knock is really that the people who advance mainly seem to be the ones who work the most hours. Work a 60-70+ hour week and you'll advance if you can handle the job. If you work a 40 hour week you'll probably stagnate.

Pros

Wayfair offers decent health insurance, though the premiums could be lower. There's a ping pong table and equipment available for use to unwind during a hectic day. Some email agents manage to work here for over a year without ever being forced to handle additional projects and queues. Most do not.

Cons

Free snacks are nice but all are empty carbs and junkfood. 'Subsidized' drinks in the break room cost more than buying the same drinks elsewhere. We have random employee appreciation days that are poorly planned and poorly executed. The break room is always a mess and people rarely clean up after themselves here.
