Looks good on paper but devil is in the details

Pros

Good place to start career if interested in e-commerce, but not for long haul. They are doing lots of interesting things to build Wayfair brand and there appears to be a lot of opportunity to move around in organization.

Cons

Job changed significantly from what I thought I was getting into. Things changed often, but not always for the better. Lot of new technology being rolled out, but it wasn't always tested properly before it was launched and it got very frustrating to find things were not working when they were supposed to. Company touted its entrepreneurial spirit but it became more and more bureaucratic. Also, pay was way lower than industry average. Not the best place for working parents.

Pros

snacks, event tickets, cool co-workers, centrally located, good entry-level position.

Cons

mindless repetitive work, poor mid-level managers who are not promoted on merit but on subjective management protocol, i.e. they like you or they don't- has nothing to do with your work ethic.
