I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Apr 2021
Interview
Initial karat interview for 1 hour. I was asked questions on system design and then a coding question for 30 mins.
The team expected me to provide the working solution to coding question 1. I checked with my recruiter and decided to take a redo.
The redo interview had an object-oriented design question and then a coding question.
Coding question: Ancestor of two numbers given a 2d array.
I was able to provide the complete solution this time but couldn't handle 3 of the test cases out of 12.
