Pros

I met some of the best people during my time at Wayfair, but I unfortunately also met some of the worst.

Cons

Managers and directors are highly abusive, to say the very least. Unfortunately this experience is not exclusive to me. I'm not a sensitive person, but there were many times I left 1:1s with my boss feeling like there was nothing I could do to appease them. Coworkers across multiple departments would need to take a moment after meeting with their manager, because they ended up in tears from the interaction. Managers don't want you to succeed, they want to lose good in front of their Directors and would be rewarded for abusive behavior. It was not uncommon to stay up until 12AM on most work nights. We spend most of our days in meetings and the actual work happens after the work day is over. The compensation and benefits are not great for what you experience. Wayfair also does not have a clear 3 year plan and it shows. Sometimes, we would spend months, nearly a year, working on a project only for it to get scrapped because the direction of the business changed. Their lack of foresight causes significant waste.
