Pros
Fun place to work right out of college. Lots of snacks, great office, very social culture. Ski trip was a highlight!
Cons
Recruiting was a mess when I was there. I received 2 Wayfair offers before starting, both well below market average but 1 slightly higher than the other. The recruiter for the higher paying job was perfectly nice but the other was a shark. I told her I was more interested in the position she was responsible for but ultimately needed more money. She said she could match the first offer but I had to officially decline that one before I would get anything in writing. I did and when the offer came, it was the original lower salary, not adjusted as had been promised. When I brought this up to her, she said "does it really matter? that could be a few less Starbucks a week." That statement bothers me so much to this day; equating my livelihood to cups of coffee after forcing me to back out of a better offer and not fulfilling your end of the deal. When I tried to negotiate, she threatened to drop my (now only) offer. I started and it was fine. The role was in no way analytics, more manual data processing but the co-workers were great and it was fine. Fast forward 6 months- I've learned some new skills and applied for a widely advertised internal role at the company. I went through an endless internal interviewing process with at least 5 different rounds for what was described as a development program. After those interviews, the recruiter tells me that they need to do another round to prove myself but things are looking good. After that one she tells me I've gotten the role(!) but I may need to wait 6 months for them to start it so I can hit my 1 year mark at the company. And then I was totally ghosted, I reached out numerous times for information and never heard from her again. I ultimately reached out to the role's department head who was very considerate in taking the time to meet with me and to let me know that I had not been selected for the role in the first place and he's not sure why she would have said so. I had turned down an external role in the meantime. I left the company 6 weeks later.
