Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Wayfair
Entretien
- standard recruiter phone screen
- phone interview
- onsite for 6 hours (they didn’t provide me with lunch)
- salary was $35k less than my current salary.
Their onsite was probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. They don’t seem to realize that at a certain experience level, it’s a two-way interview. That is, interviewees are judging them too. Wayfair seems to act like they’re the best “tech” company in the world, and if you don’t memorize and subscribe to their RECIPE (yes literally a question was about what I know about their recipe) for then you are not qualified.
On phone screen I was constantly sold by ex-management consultants about how great their work-life balance is at Wayfair. But at the onsite I was told by an ex-management-consultant “this isn’t the job for everyone, we manage people out for underperformance and it’s very fast paced”.
Additionally, an Interviewer was 20min late to a 45min interview. Overall it was just very unprofessional. The next week I interviewed with several other tech companies (albeit in Bay Area and not Boston), it was much more organized and two-way conversations.
I’m perplexed by Wayfair’s lack of ability to understand how mid to senior candidates actually have a lot of options and their mentality only works for more junior candidates.
The interview process involved a case study interview and several situational interviews, totaling about 5 interviews. The scheduling was efficient, and the entire process took about 1.5 months to complete.
4 rounds of interview (HR interview, Hiring Manager, 30 mins Case interview , 3 rounds of back to back interviews from 3 different leaders from cross functional teams) Hiring managers + last round of interviews consist of all behaviorist interview questions while the case interview mostly will test your critical thinking and communication skilll
