The interviewer was very warm and friendly though the criterion validity of the initial interview seems very questionable. The initial interview was a business case study with very little relevance to the position I applied for. Other than solving the quantitative equations, very little was discussed about myself or my experience relevant to the position. The interview was neither easy nor hard but I did not anticipate a strategic business case study for a talent acquisition role.

Question 1
Looking at the data provided how much of the suppliers stock at XX discount would have to be sold in order to make a profit?
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Wayfair came to my school so I attended the information session and then applied online. I had a first-round video case interview. I was offered a final in-person interview. The original date of my interview was pushed back a month and then happened to fall during final exams. I rescheduled all of my exams in order to fly to Boston. A week before my interview a person that I had not talked to during the process called to tell me that the position is now filled/changed/cancelled. This was my way of getting home from school so I had to find other plans at the last minute. The way they went about this cancelation was very unprofessional and offered little to no help afterwards.
