Pros: Good work-life balance, a lot of perks.

Cons: Legacy code coupled to SQL and stored procedures, PHP...

Pros: I have been on several teams at Wayfair, and I can say that they are all amazing and wonderful to work with. As a female engineer, I can safely say that this company is great to work for.

Cons: This is not a company to work for if you want work-life balance. I regularly work 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Pros: You will learn a lot, as there is a sword hanging over your head every time. Having said that, it creates an environment of continuous anxiety.

Cons: 1. Hire and fire culture - More than 12 people from a batch of 30 people in Wayfair Labs were fired within 10 months. Those who survived looked stressed and feared for their jobs all the time. 2. Continuous evaluation/micromanagement of work until they let you go. 3. Stressful, unfriendly environment; everyone looks stressed, and employees always work overtime, with no work-life balance. 4. Low pay: ~80k base salary, not enough to sustain in an expensive city like Boston. Other companies pay much better. 5. No appreciation of work. 6. No work visa sponsorship initially; they fire you before the visa sponsorship time comes. 7. Managers do not have a personal relationship with employees; racist environment. DO NOT join.
