Unhealthy environment with decaying software infrastructure
Unhealthy environment with decaying software infrastructure
It's a big name you can put on your resume.
Employee discount: very difficult to use, but can save lots of money sometimes.
If you enjoy logistics, e-commerce, or retail, then Wayfair is using some advanced techniques you can learn from and/or find interesting.
It's becoming a sweatshop (see CEO email at the end of 2023 telling people to work harder and blend work and life).
Upper management is cynical and manipulative; you really can't believe what they say (the same email asserted "consistently profitable" for a company that hasn't made a profit since 2020).
The people they are adding offshore are awful compared to offshore resources at other companies.
Support for software engineers is unusually poor compared to other companies.
Corporate culture is unhealthy and getting worse.
Frequent layoffs with insincere justifications.
I just said management was cynical and manipulative, so I don't think they're looking for advice from me or anyone else. They want you to think what they want you to think.
