Pros

Wayfair is a high-growth company that affords lots of growth opportunities to its employees. The company has made the development of a high-quality software team a top priority for the last few years. The result has been the growth of an incredible team of driven engineers, architects, and managers who want to build a high-quality system. The company has made great strides in both its infrastructure and operational engineering teams, and that has allowed the company to achieve a near doubling of year-over-year growth.

Engineers at the company have a great environment to challenge themselves and learn from their driven peers. Self-sufficient engineers able to drive their own ideas forward will find a great home here.

Cons

Work-life balance is sometimes tough to maintain. The company moves very quickly, and as a result, employees have to work long hours to keep up, particularly in the run-up to the busy holiday season.

Advice to Management

Invest more in hiring top talent to continue to raise the bar for employees.
