First interview with HR was simple, the person asked couple of basic questions, she changed the meeting two times. Second Interview with the manager of the area, He asked about background and asked if we could change to spanish as it was a position for the spanish market, my native language is spanish so everything was good, then he asked for my nationality and lost interest as I'm from latin america. I got a surprise someone asks for the country where you are from as the position requires the language only and not nationality.

Question 1
Question about my last job, experience in the field and nationality
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Contacted by recruiter. Screened. Interviewed with hiring manager and came away impressed. Moved on (with good communications from internal recruiting) to a small panel - 2 peers to the role.
One asked questions, the other observed. Hypotheticals (“how would you improve the commenting feature…”) and a simple modeling question (encouraged to use a spreadsheet) to figure out break-even on a pay-for-reviews program.
Then never heard from Wayfair again - except for an “interview experience survey” that they kept pestering me about.
Pinged them once and was promised an update later in the day - some sort of “headcount review” was underway. Never heard from them again.
In peer interview a current product manager described their digital transformation as “50% complete” and their technical refactoring as “50% complete.” Sometimes 50% means “never.”
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Hypothetical product design question (mini case study talked through in interview) and simple break even modeling. Break even analysis began with maybe 9 minutes left in the interview and the interviewer clearly wanted a numeric answer, not just a discussion of how to resolve the problem. They were working from a script.
Interview process consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, an additional phone interview with a manager, and then a panel with other management asking situational questions based on company principles.
