HR screen, case, final round with manager. If you can do normal Excel formulas like XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and know basic algebra, you will be fine. Pretty normal interview questions overall

Question 1
What operations strategy would you suggest for the sheet sets at Wayfair?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Mar 2024
Interview
I received an email from a recruiter that they were interested in speaking with me about my application. I assumed it would be a high-level with a recruiter to confirm my background before proceeding to more formal interviews. I scheduled the interview via Calendly and was surprised to arrive to a case interview with a senior member of the team (via Google Meet). At this point I know virtually nothing about the role apart from the job posting, which also excludes salary range (illegal in MA), and had not prepared for this. I explained that I was not warned it was a case interview when we were done and she was super apologetic, but it did not remove the awkwardness from the situation. I decided that this role was not the right fit for other reasons, which could have been discovered in a less stressful situation if I had spoken with a recruiter first. I was interested in other open positions, but this experience soured it for me.

Question 1
They asked questions such as; "Identify the two areas that require the most improvement/intervention for the supplier and why", "Calculate the gross profit margin and explain your formula for doing so"; "In less than one minute, tell the CEO your recommendations for what the supplier needs to do to reduce damaged item ratings and how that translates to higher profits"
