Will be extremely relaxed if you work here - zero stress.
Very flexible hours due to lack of interesting work.
There are a few strong engineering teams, and people are pretty chill.
Poor culture - largely homogenous and doesn't try to diversify.
The work isn't very interesting. This company isn't very innovative and claims to have a culture of moving quickly and breaking things, but it actually moves very slowly and still manages to break things.
Management is subpar - getting promoted mostly relies on politics rather than actual skill.
Poor quality of engineering - not only is the codebase terrible, but there are many engineers here who are incompetent. Stay away from working with them as much as possible and switch teams if you need to.
Compensation is far below market value - if you can work at a top tech company, they will pay you far more than what you would earn here in terms of both base salary and equity.
You get what you incentivize. Poor hiring decisions plus poor compensation equal poor engineering. Get rid of the bad managers under you and remove your unqualified engineers.

There was a 60-minute technical interview followed by a 30-minute behavioral interview. The behavioral interview was straightforward, and the technical interviewer asked me coding questions relating to a realistic scenario for Wayfair employees.
