      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Dec 16, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      First had a call with recruiter who asks basic questions to see if you fit . Next you get to work on a coding problem for 24 hours.If you clear that you get to hop on a call with a senior software engineer for the final decision. The call was decent, it was one of the easiest interview call anyone could attend - simple leetcode question .Solvable with 2 lines of code. The major drawback was them asking about PHP and asking questions with regards to that. As a developer they should be looking for talent who can solve real world problem and think big instead they want you debugging PHP code which is not worth the interview time . As a graduate I would def like more challenge in an interview because for me the way the company interviews reflects the standard of them so in this case it was very poor.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Debug PHP , some random coding question( not challenging )

      Interview

      The HR was very nice, it took me about 30min for the phone screen. The questions asked are pretty general behavior questions, for example: tell me about yourself, your project, a time when you need to learn new knowledge...

      Interview

      HR call. It was unfair for an HR rep to ask technical questions to a Software Developer and give a rejection based on that. There should be a better way of screening technical roles.
