I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Austin, TX) in Apr 2022
Interview
I had two interviews - A phone Interview on Apr 26 2022 and a Technical Assessment Interview with Karat Online Assessment after 10 days assessment includes a coding and system design question. Then we booked an appointment for the virtual onsite interview but they canceled it just one night before as they said the company freeze the hiring process for 3 months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- code question about Graph and Binary tree diameter
- 6 small system design questions about what is the best approach to solving specific problems, caching, streaming, and large-scale systems.
They cancelled interviews twice at the very last moment for various reasons, then sent me a message telling that they are moving forward with other candidates.
Needless to say it seems a bizarre and irresponsible way to handle candidates since we also have to free our time for such meetings, plan and prepare for them.

Telephonic interview using screen share. Was a simple algorithm to be coded in any language of choice.
The ask was to write a algorithm to display the billing address with a combination of alpha and numbers. You will need to use # to find the appropriate alphabets.
Then went to onsite which was mixed.
