I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Had a call with recruiter. We discussed mainly on projects on my resume, technical skillset. This was followed by a screen shared coding round was arranged with one of the senior team members.
Out of 60 minutes for technical screening round, the interviewer called late by 5 minutes. Then he talked on my resume and position for approximately 25 minutes. In remaining 30 minutes, I was supposed to complete the coding question. They wanted to see nothing less than a working solution. Didn't really see the way I worked through to reach solution. Interviewer had reserved a room for himself, and ended interview quite abruptly, saying room was not available any more.
The worst part was, no one contacted me ever after this round. I sent follow up email to recruiter and interview coordinator. They didn't care to respond. When people are spending their time and energy preparing for interview, not responding at all is very disrespectful.

Interview
Overall ok but the coding test environment is like a black box that you just can’t debug. If you solve by debugging, you’re doomed. LeetCode won’t really prepare you for this.
