I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Dec 2018
Interview
Was referred by internal employee. Took very simple coding interview, initially denied me as an error, called me back to schedule a Skype interview. Skype interview couldn’t have been easier. Invited for an on-site. There was a data analysis project to present at the interview, pretty basic. Interview was behavioral, interpret some pseudo code, and then present data analysis. Got along really well with interviewers and everything went well, really awesome interviewers. The only negative was the recruiter Katie Halowack. She was condescending and rude to me the whole time. She thought very very highly of herself and was aggressive and angry. I couldn’t believe such a great company would hire someone like that. Anyways. She didn’t seem up to par with how amazing the BI analysts were. denied offer because of recruiting experience.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Berlin) in Jul 2023
Interview
I could not complete all the steps due to unprofessional interview process management. Two different HRs contacted me. After I shared my availability for the next interview, they sent me 2 different emails which were not related to my interview process. I asked for clarification about the process and send me the correct slot, but I did not get an answer for 4 days. In the end, HR call me and said all of a sudden they decided to hold the hiring process for this position. I spent 2 days on the case study and this is really unprofessional. I had concerns about the company because of having a low rating on Glassdoor but now understood why people are complaining that much. 1- Codility Challenged -- passed 2- HR screening call -- passed 3- Hiring Manager -- passed 4- Case Study -- delivered but the position on hold
