Expanded Too Aggressively
Expanded Too Aggressively
Good work-life balance, good pay, good benefits, and good people.
I got laid off, so that sucks. I worked for under a year at Wayfair. Overall, I felt like a small cog in a large machine. It's hard to feel as though you are a meaningful contributor to the overall company.
The technology at Wayfair can also be limiting; lots of in-house technologies which don't always work, but these are changing.
My manager was amazing though. The team he led was very non-political and collaborative. He was just swept up in a company-wide restructuring and had to make decisions that he probably didn't want to.
As for the senior management, try to expand sustainably. It was sort of a shock to everyone when the layoffs happened.
