I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in Feb 2018
Interview
One of the directors interviewed me, started off with asking who I was and what I was interested, followed by why Wayfair. Then went into a case study given three different datasets they have, and a few business specific questions on how to solve certain issues related to competition and revenue.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If we have a class of barstools we are selling, how can we find a metric to understand how these barstools are performing in the market?
Let's say Amazon undercuts the price of a similar barstool by 10%. Should we undercut as well, and if we undercut and don't see any improvement in selling performance, what may be the cause for this?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Berlin) in Jul 2023
Interview
I could not complete all the steps due to unprofessional interview process management. Two different HRs contacted me. After I shared my availability for the next interview, they sent me 2 different emails which were not related to my interview process. I asked for clarification about the process and send me the correct slot, but I did not get an answer for 4 days. In the end, HR call me and said all of a sudden they decided to hold the hiring process for this position. I spent 2 days on the case study and this is really unprofessional. I had concerns about the company because of having a low rating on Glassdoor but now understood why people are complaining that much. 1- Codility Challenged -- passed 2- HR screening call -- passed 3- Hiring Manager -- passed 4- Case Study -- delivered but the position on hold
