I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in Sept 2017
Interview
The first interview was with a hiring recruiter. Very basic and asked questions about past experiences, why Wayfair, etc. After this, I immediately received an email for a coding challenge. The link expired after 24 hours. It took a few days for the recruiter to get back to me, but I received an invite for the third round. It was an hour long live coding session with a software engineer. Asked to walk him through my solution for the coding challenge, and then he moved on to a new question. After that, he pulled up a PHP code and asked me what it was doing. I told him I had no prior experience with PHP but he was very nice and said I could ask him about syntax.
These were all over the phone.
