Pros

Good benefits, snack wall, free coffee.

Cons

-Managers sit around and gossip together rather than doing their jobs. -Senior Leadership went downhill the moment the launch team left. -Playing favorites is a huge thing with this company. -You are nothing but a number in a system to Wayfair, they will fire you with no remorse. -Managers would rather fire you because it’s easier than helping you achieve your work goals.

Pros

Lots of cool people around who want to do good work and have fun Growing company that is willing to experiment Career growth if you are well liked

Cons

It's hard to tell if you will end up on a good team until you start. Also, they are hiring quickly so your boss and team may change quickly. I've seen high performers come in and leave early due to bad management. Possesses organizations called Single Threaded Owners to help the company move quickly. This leads to multiple teams sharing ownership and ambiguity on who is really responsible. Lots of consultants hired at senior levels who are looking to make a name for themselves without clear vision. This leads to more politics and less focus on work. Disorganization and ambiguity on objectives depending on your team. This leads to your rating dependent on your boss's perception of you.
