      Pros

      youthful atmosphere, innovative, given responsibility, possible fast career progression

      Cons

      LOW PAY. Aside from tech pay is low. Difficulty retaining talent. Entry level positions for non-tech range from 30k in category management to 45k for business analyst. Candidates waste their time travelling extensively interviewing for positions they would never have applied for had they known the salary. Bonuses are rare and also low. Extremely high turnover, work is not well structured, certain team members are completely incompetent due to lack of talent. Recruiting video shows almost all ivy league employees however upon starting work, it becomes obvious those are the only ive leaguers at the entire company.

      Good experience straight out of college, not worthwhile if you already have career experience

      Pros

      Wayfair mostly hires employees straight out of school, which is great if you fall into this category. You'll be able to fit in easily and build relationships with your colleagues.

      Cons

      Wayfair definitely takes advantage of its young employees and pays them the bare minimum. Most of their employees haven't worked at any other companies so aren't sure exactly what to expect in terms of compensation. Comparable roles at other companies pay 20%-50% more. Because of this, the best talent usually leave after 1-2 years. There is a glut of middle management. They are mostly people who have been with the company for a while. Most of these managers are mediocre and lack the experience and talent for their position. There are some exceptions to this but for the most part, you'll be frustrated working them. They won't be able to offer you any guidance or direction.
