I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Wayfair (College Park, MD) in Feb 2012
Interview
This was the process for me:
Career Fair at my university -> interview offer by email a week later -> skype interview (I live in a different state) for 2 hours the week after that -> got an offer within 6 days for $30/hr
They were really nice. Doing a skype interview was really weird and I bought a microphone for it (DO THIS IT HELPS) for about $8.

Question 1
I thought they were all okay except for one about finding all anagrams of a given word in a dictionary efficiently. They asked one about 7 coins that are the same weight and one that is heavier - and finding that one with one balance.
passed initial screening, was given a game home hackerrank interview assessment that was similar to a leetcode mediums. very specific set of problem I was not able to answer. I was then ghosted by the company without a formal rejection.
