Pros: - Managers in my department respect work-life balance, are generally supportive, and don't micromanage. - Fun, casual culture. - I'm compensated very well because of the stock appreciation. - If you have a good idea and can show its value to leadership, there's a decent chance they'll let you build it (not a lot of red tape). - Good internal tooling makes it easy to get new applications up and running (try to be on a team that works on decoupled apps rather than the monolith). - I started my career here and am super thankful they let me grow and learn from my mistakes.

Cons: - Management can be spread thin, and not all seem invested in the career development of their directs. - Promotions are heavily based on having led high-impact projects. If your team doesn't have any of those during a review cycle, it will be difficult to get promoted. There's not a lot of recognition for consistent, high-quality technical contributions. - Wayfair does not have many experienced engineers, so it can be difficult to find people to learn from. They are trying to hire experienced engineers now to improve the situation. - Lots of reorgs happen. New senior leadership is often brought in and makes decisions that are out of touch and hard to understand.

Pros: Laid-back culture 2 days remote work per week (for now) Knowledgeable coworkers Room for career growth

Cons: Code is spaghetti. Lots of dead and random code no one knows what to do about. Platforms running without proper teams. Basic things keep changing for no apparent reason (constant team restructures, migrations, team restructure back to previous, etc).

Pros: The team has been very supportive, offering opportunities to grow.

Cons: Sometimes you may get dragged into multiple directions.
