Pros
-The people: highly collaborative environment where employees go out of their way to help each other; company filled with very talented people. -The work: Wayfair is a high growth company and with that comes a fast-paced environment. New challenges pop up every day and the company always needs people who are willing to step up to solve problems. -The culture: Wayfair values moving fast over being perfect and there is willingness to 'break things'--this means that employees at all levels are able to make decisions that have real impact on our customers. -Start-up feel: despite being a large public company, the place still has a start-up feel. Very rarely is there a defined standard process to follow. If you are looking for the challenge of finding new creative ways to get stuff done, this is a great place. If you want to be told how to do your task, that does not happen often. -Opportunity: fast growth and change creates the opportunity for employees at all levels to step up and make a difference.
Cons
If you are looking for an easy 9-5 job, this is probably not the right place--at very few companies are you able to find an interesting job, with an opportunity to advance, without also having to sometimes go the extra mile to figure out how to solve complex problems. Success here requires you to be proactive and create relationships across the company.
