I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Jan 2021
Interview
Phone screen followed by a business case interview. The phone screen was with a technical recruiter and the business case interview was with the hiring manager. The recruiter gave a detailed handout with what to expect for the business case interview as well as how to prepare.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic business case, how would you approach the problem, what data would you use, what model, how would you validate it
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Interview process: recruiter call, technical case study, on-site interview over two days consisting of 2 case studies, live coding (python), and 1 behavioral round. I appreciate that the topic of the technical case study (product matching at Wayfair) was communicated to me by the recruiter in advance so I had time to prepare (by reading the Wayfair DS blog for instance). However, the rest of the interview process was quite disorganized. After each step, the recruiter said they would get back to me within 48 hours with the next scheduled interview, but it always took 4-5 days instead. They also said the on-site interviews would consist of 1 coding, 1 case study, and two behavioral rounds, but it turned out to be 1 coding, 2 case studies, and 1 behavioral round. After the on-site, it took 2 weeks to get the results (with essentially no feedback).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Use cases for product matching at Wayfair, what data would you use, what model would you build, what metrics would you use to assess model performance, how to scale model training for large amounts of data
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Berlín) in Mar 2020
Interview
A month ago, I applied online and also emailed my CV to their recruiters directly. Ever since I have not heard back at all, which I consider rather unprofessional. Even an automated, unpersonal email would suffice at this point
