I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in May 2018
Interview
It was a terrific experience. Very prepared, organized, professional. I really enjoyed the process. The hiring manager was very prepared, made sure to cross reference with all other dept executives, and made me feel at home.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Apr 2018
Interview
They interviewed me for a particular role and then came back with an offer for a more junior role. And though we had discussed my current role and salary expectation, they low-balled me with an offer which was around 30k less than what I am making right now..LOL. Interestingly, post the interview they never got back to me till I got in touch with the HR recruiter. Overall, very un-professional behavior from their side. Later on talking with others who have interviewed with Wayfair, I got to know that this is a common practice with them and they have done with the same with others too. It was a sheer waste of time for me and I would suggest that don't go for any interview with them unless you are unemployed and have no other leads. Even then, go expecting the worst.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to manage a difficult work relationship.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Feb 2018
Interview
The interview process is professional and is focused on managing the process as smoothly as possible.
The negative aspect comes from the decline. This was a non personal chain email, which after 4 interviews should be a phone call, or at least a personalized email. Also delivering an email on a Saturday afternoon is not proper recruiting operations.
Bad experience due only from the decline delivery, Wayfair has a considerable amount to learn in the recruiting process and how declines are handled.

The case study is a great example of thinking outside the box.
