I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Initial phases went well via Zoom. The in person interview with manager level talent acquisition employee felt very cold and my interviewer had a hard time hiding his disinterest. They seemed very metrics focused and ask a lot of questions around number of placements and what those looked like in terms of revenue. (I was coming from an executive search
staffing agency) Culturally it would not have been the right fit for me based on the interview
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Oct 2025
Interview
A series of teams calls with different people. One was a case study where you did it with a manager you would be working with. Moved pretty quickly with scheduling the interviews and hearing on next steps.
Phone interview with Recruiter and then a long virtual interview where you are passed around to 3 different people and asked different questions and given hypothetical roles to describe a hiring process for.
