      Thankful to have started my career here, but there's room for improvement

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Managers in my department respect work-life balance, are generally supportive, and don't micromanage - Fun, casual culture - I'm compensated very well because of the stock appreciation - If you have a good idea and can show its value to leadership, there's a decent chance they'll let you build it (not a lot of red tape) - Good internal tooling that makes it easy to get new applications up and running (try to be on a team that works on decoupled apps rather than the monolith) - I started my career here and am super thankful they let me grow and learn from my mistakes

      Cons

      - Management can be spread thin and not all seem invested in the career development of their directs. - Promotions are heavily based on having led high-impact projects, so if your team doesn't have any of those during a review cycle, it will be difficult to get promoted. Not a lot of recognition for consistent high quality technical contributions. - Wayfair does not have many experienced engineers so it can be difficult to find people to learn from. They're trying to hire experienced engineers now to improve the situation. - Lots of reorgs happen. New senior leadership is often brought in and make decisions that are out of touch and hard to understand

      You will want an exorcism if you stay here too long

      Pros

      talented people, resume builder job, name recognition

      Cons

      pay is low middle management is a cancer here upper management is absolutely not transparent "Talent Management" is more akin to Internal Affairs or some kind of Crusade of Ethics and "diversity and inclusion" but really, they are anything but. Force managers to alter their employee review scores to meet the Company's desired metrics. I am not kidding, this happens. Completely unrealistic about WFH after Covid. The Creative Department is essentially Mean Girls amped to an extreme and hostile does not begin to cover it. Nepotism rules the place Getting way too woke - which always will backfire

      Don't stay here for long

      Pros

      Working from home is the only pro

      Cons

      After the pandemic everyone is expected to go back into the office. Most companies are continuing with their WFH set up and we were even told that we all work well from home so doing this doesn't make sense. Everyone is overworked and underpaid based on the industry. Only stay here for about a year and a half for the experience.
