Big, Stable Company
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
August 17, 2021
Pros: Wayfair is a big, stable company with a solid business outlook. Once here, you'll have a predictable salary and stability (for the most part).
Cons: Wayfair has gotten very large, and getting things done cross-teams is a nightmare. The best place to be at Wayfair is a self-contained team with no external dependencies, but those are very rare.
3.0
Can be a great place to work, depending heavily on your org/team
Senior Engineer • Former Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
January 14, 2024
Pros: Great managers in my org. Great teammates with little turnover for many years.
Cons: Constant reorgs, lots of bureaucracy, very difficult to move upward in level.
They require you to have the skills and do the work of the level above you for an entire year before you will be considered for a promotion to that level.
