Average interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (New York, NY) in Feb 2019

Interview

Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. Had 3 informal phone calls and then a case interview over video. While I did not perform well on the case, they brought me in for final rounds (3 behavioral + 1 case). Recruiter was very communicative throughout the entire process but the in-person experience fell flat.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Standard situation interview questions. Nothing out of the ordinary. Case question involved e-commerce math.
