I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Bengaluru) in Sep 2024
Interview
5 Rounds including OA
Performed really well in all the rounds.
The recruiter kept saying the interview panel didn't find time to convene for the final decision.
Later they told me it's org policy to hire only from BLR and they strictly follow it. I was committed to relocating and communicated that to the recruiter and in the HR round. Apparenlty, L2 will accept offer and not relocate at the last min, while other levels will relocate. The rec could've told this in the initial calls. Wouldn't have applied if I knew.
No feedback was given after the final panel decision. Total waste of time and efforts. Will never reapply.
All the rounds were easy. Practicing questions asked in Wayfair would be enough to clear it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1 - OA in hackerrank. 1 easy 1 medium. Typical LC. Passed all cases
Round 2 - 1 medium LC in hackerrank. Finished 15 mins ahead
Round 3 - LLD designing classes, db and API
Round 4 - General HM
Round 5 - HR with lots of questions around relocation and staying in BLR
The process starts with OA then a DSA/Programming round and then a Design Round where you have to design schema, APIs class diagrams and could extent to writing some SQL queries
Interviewer was numb. Did not explain the question. It was a hackerrank round. He just posted a question and expected me to read. Once I started coding, as and when I encountered different test cases, he was like Oh yeah thats one condition i forgot, yeah another one. He dint speak anything throughout the interview. Such a horrible way of conducting interview. Guys please dont attend interview in this company , just a waste of time. If interview is like this, just imagine working there, omg. Thank god i got reject.
