Senior business analyst opp at Wayfair in Boston. I hear they’re growing like crazy. Can anyone shed light on if this is worth pursuing? Comp, culture, actual work, etc?

Don’t do it. They’re business model and customer acquisition cost vs customer value is not sustainable. Just look at articles by Peter Fader

Depends on the team - some are phenomenal and others are fine. I would actually say that pay and sustainability are pretty great overall from the Bainies who have hopped over (but they’ve also been very thoughtful about the teams they joined). They’re focused on long term career development so not a bad place to be, especially given their emphasis on firm culture. Definitely do your diligence on the team and work because it’s a large company, with a lot of variability that comes with that. Check out some of the other threads on FB about it

@C1 - you can make that argument for many high growth companies who are trying to consolidate market share. It doesn’t mean that they won’t become highly profitable at scale. Now, I certainly do have concerns about Wayfair’s long term potential (e.g., undifferentiated product offerings, sustainability of logistics model), but near term profitability isn’t high on the list.

Wayfair is known to under pay and overwork their employees. Not a great place for long term career growth.
