I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I had a very disjointed interview experience. I said that I was open to recruiting for multiple different functions, so my point of contact scheduled me to interview with all groups that were hiring. I ended up meeting with 8 people, but 2 of them were not hiring for their teams and I did not meet with 2 groups who did have openings. The people themselves were great, but the process was totally exhausting. Unfortunately it was one after another "So tell me about yourself!" The next day, they gave me their "best and final" offer and when I declined, they came back at me with $10k more! I thought that was very unprofessional... I knew that even if I took the job I wouldn't be able to trust them. It's a shame because they have super sharp people and the company is booming, but a huge missed opportunity on the candidate experience front.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in May 2016
Interview
I had three separate interviews. The first being a phone screen. The second a panel interview. The third a one on one with the Director. It was a very engaging process. The recruiter I was working with prepped me before each step s o I felt confident going into the interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Jun 2017
Interview
Pretty straightforward. Recruiter called after I submitted my application. Invited me in for an in person interview to meet the team. Was told there would be an additional round of interviews I ended up not being selected for. Didn't get job but was an enjoyable process. Only complaint was sending me a generic email to let me know I was not selected. Would have preferred a phone call.
