Wayfair

Great learning opportunities in both projects assigned.

I was able to move from Full Stack Labs to Android Labs when I expressed my desire to learn more about Android Engineering.

Each cohort is assigned a mentor who is there to answer your questions about both your code and the company. Don't bombard them with questions you can find on Stack Overflow. Most times, I would ask my mentor for help after 30 minutes of struggling. TAKE ADVANTAGE!

I still grab food and hang out with the friends I made during labs.

The Android department overall is very helpful and kind, and my experience so far has been great.

Android management is very receptive to feedback and will take the time to hear you out.

Labs is a trial period to see if you'll be an asset to the company. While this might scare you, have some faith in yourself. You passed the coding challenges and got the offer. I'd only worry if you do something like fall asleep at your desk and can't produce quality code by the end of labs. Seeing how you got the offer, Wayfair believes your code can be brilliant. The resources are there to improve yourself; it's really all on you.

It's not the Hunger Games out here like some of the other reviews make it out to be. Every company has expectations. If you're underperforming at any company, it sucks, but you're going to get chopped.
