I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Jan 2018
Interview
I was only interviewed by the recruiter. We had a 30 minute conversation, where she said she would follow-up with me the same week. After two weeks and I hadn't heard from her, I emailed her to ask her the status of my application. I was then informed that I didn't mention "metrics" when I was asked about how I would go about looking into new business opportunities. I was crestfallen because 1. I have over 15 years in the industry of course I look at metrics before making any new business decision, and 2. I did mention that I would confirm the validity of the opportunity- how else would I do this besides metrics? I feel this was a cop out- I was passed over because I was laid off, and because of my age.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair
Interview
3 rounds, super friendly interviewers and a great experience overall. Took about 4 weeks from applying. Interview included initial screening interview, following by 3 interviews including Case interview, Standard STAR questions & and a case study.
Was contacted through email pretty quickly after my initial application to set up a video interview. That was a case study that lasted about 45 minutes. Interviewer was very nice but dove straight into the interview. Consisted of basic business questions including some slight math, can be hard if you’re not prepared. Was contacted shortly after to set up an in person interview (2 interviews that day). They start that with a tour of their offices, which are super nice! First interview there was another case, similar to the first but a little more difficult. Next interview was all behavioral, what would you do in certain situations and giving examples of your experiences. Both lasted about 40 minutes. Both interviewers were super friendly and helpful. Soon after I was sent an email to set up one last phone call in which the offer was made.
