I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Wayfair in Aug 2021
Interview
Headhunter sent in my application and shortly received a call from Leah, one of Wayfairs internal recruiters.
We spoke on the phone about the role. This particular role was advertised as 100% remote however when speaking with her she mentioned that it would require multiple trips that would last one to two weeks throughout the year. I told her that it wouldn't work for me but she encouraged me to continue with the interview process saying that she would find me a role that would fit after I did their skills assessment.
I walked away feeling like she didn't really care. She was very short, and pushy.
I was scheduled for a Karat interview which I passed. This moved me to the next round which is onsite.
After receiving information about the onsite interview date. I contacted her via email to let her know that I would like to reschedule the date. I told her I'd feel more comfortable if we had a specific role/position to ensure we don't waste any of the interviewers time. At this point, I had about a thirty minute conversation with her in total in addition to a Karat interview. Her response says it all.
"Awesome, it doesnt sound like this is the right role for you. Best of luck with your job search!"
Don't interview with this company. They are exactly as bad as their reviews. They don't value your time or what you are interested in, your just a number and I'm sure that's how they will treat you on the job too.

Overall ok but the coding test environment is like a black box that you just can’t debug. If you solve by debugging, you’re doomed. LeetCode won’t really prepare you for this.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wayfair (Bengaluru) in Apr 2025
Interview
