The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Sep 2021
Interview
This is easily one of the worst interview processes I have been through.
The Interview process started actually well and was quick through to the final round. I felt like the final round also went fairly well. I heard back from the recruiter saying that I did amazingly well but I was better suited for a different data role.
She passed on the Codility test the week after.
I completed that and it was relatively easy. I heard back from them a week later saying that I did not pass the test. I followed up asking for feedback for which I got no real reply.
I then heard back from the recruiter a couple of weeks later with a message saying that I had actually passed the codility test and their system was giving them false positives. I was excited about this and was eager to complete my interview.
My then recruiter passed me on to this other person(lets call him X) who was a senior recruiter as well.
I actually haven’t heard from him. I followed up 2 weeks later and this is the reply that I got.
"I apologize for the delay. X has been experiencing computer issues, but it should be resolved by the end of the week. He will reach out to you with next steps then."
It has been a month and I am still waiting to hear back from this X person and I sincerely hope that his computer issues have been resolved.
(P.S: I reached out again after a month and this X person does not work at Wayfair anymore 😂 )

Question 1
What is the difference between speed and reliability?
The interview process is pretty reasonable. First, I met with HR, then received homework assignment. After one week I was assigned to meet with four seniors through screening. Whole process told about one month.
