Salary is as low as you will possibly get in the market for your job function. Wayfair knows people want to put Wayfair’s name on their resume so they use it to pay as low as possible. If you want a promotion, you have to wait 2 years. Even if you do your job well you have to wait because that how wayfair retain employees longer. They make them hope their promotion is right around the corner and they drag it forever. Also, even if you do your job well, you might still be ‘underperforming’ because managers are forced to give some people bad rating. So if you haven’t been there at least a year don’t expect to be an average performer - people have been waiting to get that rating longer than you. Managers might know how to do your job well but they don’t know how to lead and coach you. The company expect you to work hard and long hours and keep pumping in your head that they promote work life balance but that’s not true. You will find yourself giving a lot more than you get and you will not get credit not other incentive for it. Most people don’t last more than a year there, every week someone I worked with left. You will never be exposed to why the company make any of their decisions. It is chaotic because wayfair thinks that hiring lots of ex consultants is good but no one have strong roadmaps or vision and and if you are in an entry level position you will gain nothing from working there, you won’t have any decision power over your own work.
