The interview process involved speaking with multiple members of the team virtually. After a phone interview with the recruiter, there’s an interview with the hiring manager, followed by four additional rounds of interviews, including the assignment of a project where you’re asked to analyze a data set of employee survey results and identify trends, make recommendations, etc. The project is open ended and extremely time consuming to complete.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions are pulled from a “bank” of questions based on their people pillars. Each question is a behavior based question.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Lutterworth, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview is very long, 1st is a screening by recruitment, 2nd interview with hiring manager, 3rd with member of the team, 4th stakeholder and final one with stakeholder. On top of that they took over 2 weeks to make a decision. Interviews arranged at wrong times and seemed to jump to conclusions that it was candidates fault. No number to call the recruitment team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Aug 2021
Interview
Applied once, received outreach from Recruiter asking for my availability, to which I replied promptly. No response back.
Applied a second time, outreach from same Recruiter. Scheduled a phonescreen for a Wednesday at 11:00AM- 11:45AM rolls around and he finally calls, talks a mile a minute for 10 minutes and says he'd like to move me to the next phase of the interview. He advised he'd send me an email *within the hour* for my availability. Never got an email and it's two weeks later. Recruiting-- yikes.
