Pros

Some great innovative people there and some interesting problems to solve

Cons

Value selling what you have done regardless of whether it’s correct or has impact. Big issue with no women in leadership positions

Chaos- not ambiguity

Pros

> Open culture- encouraged to connect with people across the organization > Reasonably open to remote work based on the department > Benefits (especially if you are in Boston)

Cons

> "Ambiguity" is their work for chaos! > Tons of duplicative work going on ... you can literally be working on a project end to end to submit to your skip level manager, and when taken to the Directors, realize another group has been working on it so your input is literally thrown away > HUGE separation of "corporate" and "field", one side does not help the other > Collaboration and teamwork are only available if the other side has something to gain by collaborating with you > Extremely young company in terms of average employee tenure, makes it really difficult to get traction on work, and forget about historical context > Data drive??? Why can nothing outside of consumer tech be measured?

Pros

After working for Wayfair, I had a thorough understanding of Excel, programs, SQL, etc. Snacks and beer on tap in the office

Cons

This comes from an associate who is typically well liked and, from day one, I thought the companies culture was incredibly cliquey and promotions were based on how much management liked you. Management has unreachable expectations with little to no guidance
