It's a great community to work with, A lot to learn there in terms of Supply chain, the coffee chats were the best part where you get to network with senior executives.

I wish I had an on-ground team as I had a remote team, but after some time I got used to communication more online

Advice

It's a great place to be an analyst for highly motivated people who are willing to navigate through the massive amounts of user data they have .

Commercial Strategy Associate Intern

June - August 2023 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I loved that Wayfair gave us managers and mentors, and also that they had subsidized intern housing! I felt like I had such an awesome support system in my time there and really appreciated how open and honest everyone was with me. Wayfair is super cool because you are actually working on projects and initiatives that truly help the business along, not just intern projects. I think it is so cool that I can go on their website and see things and be like "hey, I helped make that happen". Overall it was an amazing experience and I loved living in Boston over the summer, which may not have been possibly without the company's generosity in providing housing to all who wanted it.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had gotten more chances to interact with other interns and had made more of an effort to get to know the other teams. Since Wayfair is such a big company, it could be really difficult to meet employees across other verticals and business functions. I wish I had spent more time exploring these other positions and branching out from what my specific role was so that I could learn more about working in other parts of the business.

Advice

Start applying to jobs early and always prepare for your interviews beforehand! Know the company, know the nature of the position, and be ready to talk about yourself. Preparing for case interviews is especially important! Be open to new things and new people and network as much as you possibly can.
