Working at Wayfair in Boston, MA: 54 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Boston, MA Area

"Very nice company. Awesome work culture. Friendly colleagues."

"Wayfair is going through a hyper-growth stage, there are many issues that come from this, mainly direction of technologies and culture clashes. Currently there are many technology paths being angled for and none clearly winning, many times leaving us with multiple technology stacks serving the same purpose. Infrastructure teams are worried about losing their jobs with the current push to the cloud. Politics run rampant and seem to win over how good you actually are at your job. There are many young managers that have only worked at Wayfair, and tend to have superiority complexes as they know no other job, and by proxy of being somewhere for such a long time, get caught up in their own glory. All this said the company is strong, the overall culture is strong and leadership strives to be sure this remains. Unfortunately a company in hyper-growth tends to hire high level employees (directors) from outside faster than they can get them to assimilate to the culture. The result is those high level employees bringing in their culture and you end up with a mash of cultures. My org is particularly bad and clearly doesn't adhere to the "Wayfair way", and it's too bad, because I love the company. Keep in mind I am talking from the perspective of one org, and fully recommend Wayfair as a company. Just be sure you do your due diligence and interview your interviewee just as hard as they interview you."

"Growing too quickly, lacking effective infrastructure to support larger team sizes"

"I've worked for Wayfair for 6-months on a Co-op. The company has a great future because of its leaders who are very customer centric and have great vision"

"Overall, I had a good experience."

"Wayfair has great company policies that really empower people to do their best and deliver value. Unfortunately, the company makes almost no effort to actually enforce this in the individual groups, and directors can get away with almost anything. Be very careful who you are working for here."

"great company, great team members"

"I've worked as a contract sourcer for Wayfair since August 2019. I highly recommend this company as they offer a strong company culture, flexibility, upward mobility, and a fun working environment. The company employs upwards of 6,000 employees and contractors. Wayfair invests not only in technology ensuring they stay ahead of the e-commerce industry. They also invest in their employees."

"I worked for Wayfair for over 3 years. My experiences have been overall positive, however, I think that one's experiences at a company are highly dependent on one's manager."

"Fun company to work for. Good culture and perks."

"Best company to work with."

"I've worked for Wayfair for almost a year. The environment was great, the amount of people was a plus. I loved the fact that I didn't always see the same face. There was never a need to be someone I wasn't, my co-workers made me feel as though I fit in just right. The workload was also manageable, my manager always made it easy for me to ask questions whenever I had them. Wayfair is a great place to work!"

"If you want to work for an enterprise that allows you to set your own goals, Wayfair is the place to be. During my tenure, I was provided with optimum supervision with no micro-management of any sort. I would definitely provide Wayfair with my positive recommendation."

"I have worked as a Co-op at Wayfair for 6 months in the year 2019. I enjoyed working there because the team was very diligent and sincere about the work. Everyone always helped each other to accomplish the tasks."

"I worked at Wayfair as an Intern. The work culture is amazing and within a span of 6 months I ended up learning tremendous amount of technologies that they used. Everyone is super friendly and since it has an open-work environment, they are really helpful when you ask them for any help. Had an amazing time here!"
