Wayfair Work Experiences
5.0
Good, smart people. Reasonable tech
Software Engineering Manager • Former Employee
April 14, 2022
Pros: Tech evolved over 3 years to become quite good. Good direction from leadership.
Cons: Leadership is constantly changing; some CTOs have been good, others not so much.
3.0
Stable Corporate Office
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
April 26, 2021
Pros: Generally a good job with the right amounts of friendly people, challenge, and work per week.
Cons: Very corporate. A lot of time spent connecting with other teams and aligning. It's hard to get recognized for work unless your team is working on "high impact" problems, whether or not it's actually a harder job.

Berlin not valued
Software Engineering Manager • Former Employee
Berlin, Germany
March 3, 2024
Pros: On the one hand, it was a fast-paced environment, with lots of fantastic colleagues, great pay, and great benefits.
Cons: On the other hand, the Berlin colleagues were not well respected or included in decision-making, unlike the Boston or West Coast colleagues. They have been having wave after wave of heavy layoffs, and in my opinion, Berlin was hit harder than the US. Most jobs are going to countries that are considered cheaper, and they don’t seem to be treating those new teams with respect either. Very US-first.
