Wayfair

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Wayfair, we strive to create an environment where all employees feel comfortable and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. We know that our success is driven by the diverse perspectives of our team members, and we celebrate and support our differences. Our 30+ Employee Resource Groups—Wayblack, WayOut, and Waysians among them—in particular, create spaces for community building and networking, and support all Wayfairians’ continued learning about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Military Life

At Wayfair, we value and honor the contributions of current and former members of the military and their spouses. Our Military Employee Resource Groups offer events, training, and other resources to strengthen Wayfair’s military family, while also bolstering the external military community through partnerships with organizations such as Homes for Our Troops. We invite service members, veterans, reservists, and spouses looking for rewarding career opportunities to come join the team!

Corporate Social Responsibility

At Wayfair, we believe that strong communities and good business are inextricably linked. We also believe that secure homes and basic household items are not only fundamental needs, but the foundation for well-being. As such, in addition to our employee-driven, company-enabled charitable giving program, we also partner with organizations—such as Habitat for Humanity, Homes For Our Troops, and more—to help create safe and comfortable living spaces for those in need.

Students

At Wayfair, everyone makes an impact. All employees—including our interns and co-ops—are integral parts of their respective teams and are given autonomy to push themselves and find new ways to add value. Our interns are treated like full-time employees, often proposing, working on, or even spearheading projects of significant impact to the business.

Imagery Creative/3D

The Imagery Creative team creates world-class, proprietary imagery for Wayfair’s websites and marketing materials to help customers visualize our products in their homes. Our team of skilled 3D stylists, artists, art directors, and modelers use advanced software paired with a profound knowledge of lighting, material, and color theory to produce a high volume of quality 3D renderings that bring our products to life. We pride ourselves on photo-realism, product accuracy, and visual composition.

The Merchandising team is at the center of the online customer experience, ensuring accurate and complete product content across Wayfair’s robust catalog of over 18 million products. To accomplish this, our versatile teams handle everything from helping suppliers manage their product selection to leveraging data science to gather customer feedback. In doing so we are responsible for defining and executing a best-in-class customer experience—a crucial component of Wayfair’s success. 

From project management, to hospitality, to finance—our Merchandising team is made up of people from all different professional backgrounds, united by a shared love of data. This diversity benefits us in our frequent work with cross-functional partners, helping us to maintain a consultative mindset that fosters internal communication and drives strategic alignment of high-priority business initiatives.
