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.

Pros

- Great young people to work with - Company Parties and Outings - A chance to get on your career path as there is always internal moves being made

Cons

- Salary is below market for just about every position here. Creates a springboard type setting for people to get their experience here and move to another company wiling to pay market price.
