I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Apr 2015
Interview
This is probably the quickest interview I have ever appeared for a full-time Software Engineer position at any company. This position is for Wayfair Labs dept.
It involved mainly 2 rounds and one coding challenge. 1st was HR which was simple enough (she would ask you a basic SQL question and other things), then a coding challenge which was simple enough if you know your coding chops (you would be given a day to complete) and finally a phone interview with the Hiring Manager where she would ask 3 questions, one on the coding challenge previously attempted. Next day I got the offer. Overall it took just about 2 weeks.
