      Senior Manager Interview

      4 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter by email to set up a time to speak. After the initial interview, where we went through my resume, and questions like: "why wayfair"? an "why did you apply to this role"? she told me that next steps would be another phone interview to go through a case. We set up a call for the following week. Be prepared to understand conversion, margin, and figure out if the recommendation to make certain strategic decisions is actually a good one. Talk it all out - they want to understand your though process. The next step was another phone interview with a Director. During this call be prepared to give specific examples specific to your experience. They want to hear numbers and clear process examples that showcase how you handled a certain problem/scenario. Afterwards, I was asked to come in for an interview. It lasted 3 hours and was with a total of 6 people. Prior to you coming in, your recruiter will tell you how the interview will be set up and what type of questions you should be prepared to answer - some will be behavioral, leadership, and case... case will be similar to the one you did over the phone, only this time you will have 2 people sitting in front of you and you will need to talk about how you would go about solving the problem. The process is tedious and extremely long. Meeting with 6 people (4 total interviews, with 2 of them having 2 people sitting in) for a role in which they couldn't even meet my salary requirements of $100K (it's mid-level management position!), seemed like overkill. I have gone through this type of an interview process, but the pay was higher and the company was a consulting firm! Wayfair is trying to create the elusion that it's a very "high end and picky" company that gets the best of the best through its doors, but the reality is that you will be grossly underpaid and be crammed onto a floor that will be full of fresh undergrad graduates. I think this is a great company for someone who is just starting out their career, but honestly, I don't think they're not on the industry level for pay (equity doesn't make up for the bottom line, something that's needed for people to live and afford to live in Boston... maybe they should create a case study for their HR department to figure out how grossly underpaid their employees are). Overall, I think that unless you like a riding environment where you need to go through the process of checking off boxes, rather than be privy to thought leadership or creativity - then this is a great place for you. However, if you're looking for autonomy, creativity, and higher pay, I'd think twice about applying here. It was great to go through the interview process, but it proved to me that the company is trying to overcompensate for other weaknesses.
