Pros

- Most people at Wayfair are recent college grads - Fun people to hang out with - Headquarter is located in Back Bay, heart of Boston - Relaxing working environment, although it can be stressful at times - New office has nice chairs and desks that can go up and down!! - Good learning experience for summer engineering internship

Cons

- Low salary, which you would hear some full-time employee complain during lunch break - Projects are web/e-commerce related, so it can be boring and repetitive

Pros

Wayfair is a young, fresh company with a fantastic work/life balance. Great perks like discounted gym memberships & commuting passes, free snacks, yoga at lunchtime, etc. Great management, highly skilled and motivated people are the leaders at every level. Many opportunities for career development & training!

Cons

Given the size of the company, it can sometimes feel like you're just another number, but I think they try their best to keep a small team atmosphere as much as possible. Compensation is okay but not great given the cost of living in Boston. I think we'd retain more talent if we offered better salaries.

Pros

Young talented people work at this company. Co-workers are great.

Cons

Low salary to start and it does NOT get better. It is hard to live off of a Wayfair salary and I do not see how they get away with this. In my experience, they do not value their employees. I worked in two different departments and in both departments it was explained to me that I was a replaceable employee. Wayfair has an extremely high turnover rate which is an awful way to run a company. Do not work at this company.
