Wayfair Human Resources interview questions

I was contacted by Wayfair for a role in the HR department. I had 1 phone screen, and then 3.5 hours of interviews in-person with 7 different people. I was given the impression from the beginning that I was a great candidate, only to find out that the team was divided and they chose not to hire me because not everyone was on board. THEY reached out to me for this role, complimented my case studies, and then didn't hire me. I never even applied! The process felt WAY too political for a place that claims to have a "start-up" culture. The whole experience felt unprofessional.
