Pros

Wayfair is a place where I learned more in 5 years than any other place. I was surrounded by the smartest people I know all in one place that were working to solve tough problems. The internal mobility consistently put me on a learning curve setting me up for my current expanded scope. Just look at the number of director alums that have left for big jobs - its a great place.

Cons

Wayfair is not for everyone. The performance culture is real and expectations are high. For me, it worked but I know it can be stressful for others.
