I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair
Interview
After application, I got an automatic email with a HackerRank-kind-of-thing evaluation. An HR emailed me about a week after I completed it, and I scheduled a short phone interview with her (the earliest available slot was a month later, her calendar was so filled!). The phone interview was a regular behavioral one, and the HR said she would forward my resume to their engineers for review. I got rejected a day later.
To Wayfair: Please do not schedule a behavioral interview before the applicant's resume has been reviewed by a professional. What a waste of both of our time.

Question 1
Give a case study based on which they asked question.
It was in spring 2022. The overall process was smooth and easy. They asked me a simple question on system design, which was pretty simple and straightforward. Using dictionary can solve the problem. I didn't get hired tho. Probably because they started hiring freeze at that time.

Question 1
Designing a warehouse to store information of products
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Aug 2022
Interview
I found the entire process unprofessional. First they schedule an interview, then push it in the very mast minute. On the interview day, nobody joins the teams meeting, I kept waiting for an hour and had sent out couple of emails to the HR, and the interviewer to confirm if I was in the correct meeting room or if it has been rescheduled.

Question 1
System design question was asked, started working on it in Python, but the interviewer was unfamiliar with the language and I had to explain him at every stage.
