I was contacted by a third party recruiter about this job, and then he connected me with a recruiter at Wayfair. Then I talked to Wayfair's recruiter about compensation expectations and he told me about Wayfair. Then I had a phone interview with a senior data scientist. After that they scheduled an on-site interview with me. I had four sessions with 5 people. One was behavioral with simple case study. Second and third ones were more difficult case studies. And the last one was simple coding question and they asked me about what I do at my current job. Overall, the case studies we're interesting and difficult, but I liked talking to them.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Jul 2018
Interview
HR Screening ->Engineer Interview -> Coding Example Review -> Onsite. All the questions asked in Engineer Interview and Onsite are case questions. They provided you a case they are recently working on, and ask you questions. The questions seems to be open question at the beginning but soon you will realize that the interviewers are looking for specific check points. If you can not figure out the correct answers inmediately, they will provide you tips.
