Pros: I think the compensation was fair. I really valued my WFH position, flexible work schedule, and my immediate co-workers.

Cons: There was a lot of pressure to get things done fast and work extra hours. I spent a ton of time reviewing and fixing code that contractors wrote, who received a ton of credit for their contributions. The culture was absolute trash; it was nothing but work and deadlines. Very few people tried to create team bonds, although one or two did. Performance does not matter; you will not be rewarded for doing a good job. As soon as our team completed the basic features of our critical platform app, three-fourths of the engineers were let go. The push for RTO is ridiculous. They want you to sit in traffic for two hours a day to sit in an open office and be distracted, while still having every meeting virtually. They are really changing things though, so WFH likely will not be an option going forward. They are also outsourcing as many jobs as possible to India so they can exploit cheaper labor. They cut all DEI programs years ago, along with anyone who spoke up about ethical questions. I've witnessed blatant racism and othering, and leadership only gave lip service to inclusion in order to make themselves look good and make more money.

Pros: Good for salary and perks.

Cons: Bad for work-life balance and skills growth.

Pros: - Amazing people to work with. - Great work-life balance. - Good compensation.

Cons: - Culture is going downhill. Unless Wayfair does something about it, it would not be sustainable. - Too many RIFs in the last 2 years make us wonder about the business.
