I had very experience with wayfair, they contacted me after I applied for the vacancy and asked me to choose an interview time from a calendar. then I was ready for the interview but no one contacted me in the interview time. afterwards they sent me a rejection mail even though I didn't do the interview. completely waste of time!! don't recommend
