Pros

Wayfair has a really vibrant and fun work environment. We are all about our work/ life balance and being rewarded for high performance. The relationships you will make when joining a team is like no other and you will love working with smart passionate people. Great for smart, hard working people that want to celebrate their individual contributions within a team. Always opportunity to grow and learn!

Cons

Conference room space is minimal but getting better !

Low pay, little recognition, screwed over by promotion policy

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people who are sympathetic to the conditions, a really great manager (for my last few months), nice opportunities for team bonding if you have a team who will consider spending pod outing money for something other than getting smashed.

Cons

Pay. Pay. Pay. And to everyone reviewing saying that something will be done about the dismal paycheck prospects soon, you must be new to the company or have been hit in the head by a fake Herman Miller chair. This is their business model. They keep the people who have drank the Kool Aid, and the rest are replaceable as needed. No one cares about you or your work, and if you work hard you'll get nowhere, if you don't you'll get nowhere.
