Wayfair reviews

The pay is less than ideal. Some of the managers are difficult to deal with, they invested a lot of their time into Wayfair which is why they are where they are, but I do not think they are equipped to lead the teams. The work get's quite monotonous, in other words I felt like I was learning quite a bit at the start but that fizzled out very quickly and to be honest sometimes I was really board in there.

1. Recruiting is aggressive. Retention is weak. People are treated a commodity. Pawns to be moved whenever and however a small set of decision makers decide. No consideration of smart professionals that come in and leave quickly due to frustration. 2. Internal competition for attention and resources. Teams are set up to “prove” their value through experiments. If numbers are to be believed, this company should increase revenue by several billion this year 3. Whimsical or cutthroat approach to managing priorities and teams. Product Management team is the most inexperienced and poorly structured I’ve seen or read about. Leaders are unqualified. This is in stark contrast to engineering and marketing teams. 4. Internal tools. These are incomplete and underfunded. Management has reasons for not using well established commercial software but it hampers every single employee trying to get things done. Very inefficient and speaks to the arrogance that old timers think Wayfair can do everything better. It can’t. 5. Turnover. Disruptive environment with so many people joining and leaving all the time over the last few years.
