I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA)
Interview
One hour technical interview and then three rounds onsite. The recruiters were not responsive and never replied emails.
The onsite experience was horrible. The hiring manager was very unprofessional. No eye contacts during the entire 45-minute interview. The case interviews were based on their past projects. The project itself was pretty boring. The interviewer kept asking why it was a data science project. The questions they asked about machine learning were not clear and they didn't accept alternative methods. I would avoid wasting time with them.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Mar 2026
Interview
Received the Online Assessment on Hackerrank, including data manipulation & data insights. Data manipulation was on Pandas, not difficult, and data insights were an excel spreadsheet, and drew some insights and recommendations from it.

Interview
Technical Interview on SQL and Python. Makes you program a machine learning model and write intermediate SQL commands. Overall, not too difficult, and it takes roughly 75 minutes. I would suggest praticing on Hackerrank
Very average interview where the questions were ambiguous. It was very ambiguity. And not clear on the requirement. So in short not difficult. Hard to say if anyone should interview for this company
