Wayfair reviews

- Senior leadership resents employees and is condescending - Culture is entirely team dependent as there is no culture set at the top. Unfortunately, it is frequently bad. Especially in tech where employees are forced to work well over 40 hours a week with not even a “thank you” - The company is on the path to bankruptcy and has cut approximately 4500 employees in the past two years. They continuously fail to raise revenue and rely on layoffs to cut costs. They are not apologetic about these layoffs, and actually blame the employees for the company’s bad performance which is actually largely due to macroeconomic factors and poor decisions on their part - Getting promoted is much much more difficult than at other companies. They bait you with high initial pay and then your pay is largely static for years after arriving.

The 6 month evaluation cycles produce anxiety across the entire organization, and things may have changed but in my time there they were seeking to let go of what they considered the 'bottom' 20% every 6 months which meant that we were constantly training people who really wouldn't even be allowed to make any sort of impact on the team. I was there when the first layoffs happened and when I asked if that meant we would not bring in a fresh wave of direct from college recruits I was told no - they would still all get hired. To me this shows that Wayfair understands that they are constantly hiring so they can fire and are not trying to stabilize their organization. Just my two cents. If you do not have an aggressive personality or ability to stand up for yourself and your team, you will simply get eaten alive by this culture.
