Pros

Fairly lax environment with friendly co-workers.

Cons

Low pay. Horrendous turnover. Poor management due to inexperienced employees being prematurely thrust into managerial positions. Lack of growth as the company has grown to over 1,500 employees and counting.

Pros

I would recommend this company as a stepping stone to start off your career. Get six months experience and then you will be ready to move on.

Cons

If you want a job that recognizes your work experience and higher education, then I would suggest that you look elsewhere. The company plays favorites and takes care of the employees that they like. Please note that they do not like people of Jewish ancestry , so if you decide to work there, never tell them or else you will regret it. The pay is very low and stagnant. You will never be able to support yourself if you work there, unless you like to shop for all of your clothing and furniture in thrift stores and eat ramen every night for dinner. Just saying. At first I was very excited to be working for a start up company, but as time went on I realized that no one knows what they are doing, so they like to place blame on others. Wayfair and I have different values. I am presently looking for a new job that I am better qualified for since Wayfair is not interested in keeping a tenured employee by giving me a promotion and a raise.

Pros

I think the compensation was fair, and I really valued my WFH position, flexible work schedule, and my immediate co-workers.

Cons

There was a lot of pressure to get things done fast and work extra hours. Spent a ton of time reviewing/fixing code that contractors wrote, who got a ton of credit for their contributions. Culture was absolute trash, nothing but work and deadlines, very few people tried to create team bonds (although one or two did). Performance does not matter, you will not be rewarded for doing a good job, and as soon as our team completed the basic features of our critical platform app, 3/4ths of the engineers were let go. The push for RTO is ridiculous. They want you to sit in traffic for two hours a day to sit in an open office and be distracted, while still having every meeting virtually. They are really changing things though, so WFH likely will not be an option going forward, and they are outsourcing as many jobs as possible to India so they can exploit cheaper labor. They cut all DEI programs years ago, along with anyone who spoke up about ethical questions. I've witnessed blatant racism, and othering, and leadership only gave lip service to inclusion in order to make themselves look good and make more money.
