Pros

Great company to work with. Talented individuals and great managers.

There's plenty of freedom to develop projects, and managers offer great feedback.

Cons

The CEO is not transparent at all. During the all-hands meeting, they will always say the company is doing great and that everything is going well, but follow up with sudden layoffs that don't take management input. There is a performance cycle in place, but layoffs don't take that into consideration, as they always happen just before the performance review cycle starts.

Advice to Management

Wayfair needs more transparency. If the goal is to cut down costs, people are going to leave. Whether they leave by their own will to another company or are laid off, the savings will be the same.
