I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Horrible experience. I had 5 rounds of interviews but they went with an internal candidate, never apply to this company. Do not waste your time applying here, the company is also known to do mass layoffs

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Wayfair SQL assessment Case
This was probably the most unprofessional process I’ve ever experienced. I had my recruiter call and 1:1, which were fine. By the time I got to the panel that’s where difficulties showed. They had to reschedule my panel multiple times, including when I was in the waiting room waiting for the interviewer and after 15 minutes it kicked me out because they never showed.
very structured process where you know what you're getting into from the recruiter. first is with recruiter, then hiring manager, a technical aptitude test, then more interview rounds with higher ups. Didn't make it past hiring manager round.

Question 1
What's the best feedback you received from a manager?
Relatively quick and straight forward. No take home assessment as part of the interview process. Technical portion of the
interview occurred in the panels and was simple, more so testing ability to think through problems
