I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in Jun 2012
Interview
HR interactions/screens, Phone screen, be-all-and-end-all so-called technical interview by relatively inexperienced, megalomania, like many companies now mistaking themselves with Google, aping their styles and even questions. These days interviewers want to appear smart, and steal Q&A from various puzzle books, asking questions that they could not themselves answer! Who you know trumps!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generic Qs unrelated to skills, talents, and abilities. They would not know talent if it slapped them across the face!
