Petty employees, no transparency, and really low salaries
Pros
Open office, young employees, fun work outings and quarterly parties, kegs in the kitchen, lenient policy on working from home, good benefits
Cons
When you first get to Wayfair they try to make you drink the koolaid with the flashy office and group outings and winter party in the Seaport, and they think it makes up for the fact that everyone is paid SIGNIFICANTLY below the industry average. On top of that, they have rules that you can't get promoted or a pay raise if you haven't been there for 12 months or more, and you can't get more than one promotion or pay raise per year, AND you only get these big reviews every 6 months, so there are people who only just get promoted after working in their job for 2 or 3 years with no pay raises or incentives to stay. The turnover rate is really high and they even tell you that 75% of the company has been there for 1 year or less. They expanded too quickly and can't keep up with managing that many people, and Niraj and Steve like to act like they are super transparent, but they don't tell you anything, even your managers will be hush hush about everything, and you always feel like you're in the dark. They also feel like everyone is replaceable so they aren't going to do anything to stop you from leaving.
