I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Wayfair
Interview
Well first you should apply online and then directly contact the HR person to follow up. They like that. Then when you do the interview, it will be a extremely long 2 hour one. They ask questions about your background, like your outside work or what not. And they basically ask you about the stuff you put on your resume. The first has are those type questions and puzzle brain teaser questions. The second half was a coding question.

Question 1
The most unexpected ones were the network questions. They asked me how sites on the internet were accessed. I kind of forgot that sites are just ip addresses. But I remembered and told them that. They also asked me to explain how data was transferred and explain the differences (udp vs tcp). After that the asked me if I knew what get and post did in javascript since I had done some JavaScript before. The coding questions was not that hard, I was just nervous and blanked for a bit.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was contacted by an HR representative who then set me up for a skype interview the following week. The interview consisted of two half hour interviews each with a separate member of the engineering team. After a few weeks was contacted by the initial HR representative and was told that I was not selected to move forward in the process.
