      Corporate America in a startup shell

      Pros

      In Europe, Wayfair teams are very young, and from very different backgrounds and cultures. It seems to be a lot of opportunities and we see new hires all the time.

      Cons

      But employees are often considered as commodities, being disposed of whenever the management wants to for reasons sometimes unrelated to performance. The management has been mainly imported from the US, and they apply their style in Europe without any consideration for the European roots of 90% of the emplyees, leading to huge cultural idiosyncrasies. The company is rigged with obscure processes and a form of nepotism. With all that, Wayfair brought the worst of corporate America in Europe

      A frustrating work environment

      Pros

      Wayfair is all about hiring from within and making sure employees are happy during the day, mainly because the work they do is tedious and boring. Steve and Niraj are nice and personable and the relaxed work environment is nice.

      Cons

      Wayfair is very hypocritical. They say they want employees to have good work life balance but in a way, the open floor plan makes for a more competitive environment. Everyone can see what everyone is doing. So, if you need a 5 minute break to recharge, everyone can see that you aren't working. Most eat at their desks and work through lunch. There is pressure/competition to stay far later than 5 pm each night.
