I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Wayfair in Feb 2022
Interview
Long and impersonal process... I applied through a referral. After a week I received a link for a 2hr coding assessment. After I submitted that assessment... crickets for ~25 days(!). Then, I received an invitation for a first round. It was a case study, that required some basic NLP knowledge. Then after 2 weeks, I was notified that I made it to the final round. However they didn't tell me when that was about to happen, I was notified less than 48 in advance (!). The final had a behavioral, a case, and a coding round. The case interview was all about time series, although it was clear from my resume that this is not my area of expertise. For a very ML/DL-heavy position, I was surprised that I wasn't probed for my understanding of ML algorithms or statistics, nor an opportunity was given to me to discuss in-depth my past projects. The rejection came after 4 business days.

Interview
Technical Interview on SQL and Python. Makes you program a machine learning model and write intermediate SQL commands. Overall, not too difficult, and it takes roughly 75 minutes. I would suggest praticing on Hackerrank
Very average interview where the questions were ambiguous. It was very ambiguity. And not clear on the requirement. So in short not difficult. Hard to say if anyone should interview for this company
