I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Nov 2016
Interview
I received the offer to interview for the position after an informational interview with the team's manager. For the interview itself, I spoke with 4 people, each one lasting 30-45 minutes. Three of the four were personality-focused, each with a different focus (tech, teamwork, etc.) The fourth was a business case: while I was told that the case may involve math, mine didn't. The day concluded with a panel to talk with recent hires and discuss other aspects of the company that weren't addressed previously. I received the formal offer a week later.
Overall, everything went surprisingly smoothly. As a first-time job seeker, I'm glad that Wayfair was able to make the interview process as painless as possible.

Question 1
When looking at an account's orders, what factors would you use to parse corporate orders from personal orders?
Pretty nice person. Asked questions and helped through anything I didn’t understand, though the questions were easy. Technical questions could not have been easier and the behavioral is pretty simple to see through or master

Question 1
How would you handle a superior speaking down to you
standard 3 parts: 1) OA on sql 2) case with cross teams 3) team match with HM. The team match takes longer than expected. HR is slow but when they reach you. They are very transparent and clear.
The interview process started with an initial phone screening with recruiter (included case study questions), then a behavioral interview, followed by a live case study. Overall experience was good, and the difficult was average.
