Pros

Fun company, growing fast, great story. If you're in a department that brings in money you'll have a great career.

Cons

Pay isn't great, departments that bring in money do better than support.

Looks good on paper but devil is in the details

Pros

Good place to start career if interested in e-commerce, but not for long haul. They are doing lots of interesting things to build Wayfair brand and there appears to be a lot of opportunity to move around in organization.

Cons

Job changed significantly from what I thought I was getting into. Things changed often, but not always for the better. Lot of new technology being rolled out, but it wasn't always tested properly before it was launched and it got very frustrating to find things were not working when they were supposed to. Company touted its entrepreneurial spirit but it became more and more bureaucratic. Also, pay was way lower than industry average. Not the best place for working parents.

Pros

- Finally back to massive growth mode after the re-branding - Growing, dynamic industry - Fast pace - Tons of responsibility and autonomy - Salaries competitive with local market - Equity/stock for everyone

Cons

- Limited formal learning and development programs You have to fish around for good mentors (in addition to your immediate manager) and really need to drive your own career path
