Pros

Will be extremely relaxed if you work here - zero stress Very flexible hours due to lack of interesting work There are a few strong engineering teams and people are pretty chill

Cons

Poor culture - largely homogenous and doesn't try to diversify The work isn't very interesting - this company isn't very innovative and claims to have a culture of moving quickly and breaking things, but it actually moves very slowly...and still manages to break things Management is subpar - getting promoted mostly relies on politics rather than actual skill Poor quality of engineering - not only is the codebase terrible, but there are many engineers here who are incompetent - stay away from working with them as much as possible and switch teams if you need to Compensation is far below market value - if you can work at a top tech company they will pay you far more than what you would earn here in terms of both base salary and equity

Pros

Great people, fun environment, social activities. Work/lie balance is good, but don't expect to be able to afford to do anything in your free time.

Cons

pathetic salary that doesn't improve much over time.

Pros

The people I met there are great! However it's been a year since I worked there and majority of the people i met and the friends that I made no longer work at Wayfair.

Cons

Did not get paid enough at all. The department and management was very poor and disorganized. My manager had no clue what she was doing and it was kinda embarrassing to be on her team. My position was not clearly communicated to me before I took on the position. It was very vague. As a result I could only handle staying there for 5 months.
