I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Wayfair in Apr 2021
Interview
Interview with recruiter- 10m
Screening interview - 1h
Technical screening interview - 1h
Behavioral, system design and product interviews- 4h
Another system design interview - 1.5h

Total: 8 hours and 10 mins
Never had such long interview process and never will have another one. So much overlapping topics, I was left with the impression that they were not sure what they are looking for. After so much talking I couldn’t understand why someone will buy something from them and not from Amazon.
Just be careful for the long process and think twice - do you want to invest so much time.
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.
