I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied through university recruiting and had the second (final) round at their HQ. First step was a short case + short behavioral with one person. Second step was 45 min each of case and behavioral with different people. They put a lot of emphasis on their case interviews. The calculations/problems are pretty easy, but make sure to explain your thoughts thoroughly and give your reasoning for any answers. I had never done a case interview before and was ultimately not offered a positionbecause I didn't explain myself well enough. Process was a pleasure overall.

Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to work with a difficult person.
Pretty nice person. Asked questions and helped through anything I didn’t understand, though the questions were easy. Technical questions could not have been easier and the behavioral is pretty simple to see through or master

Question 1
How would you handle a superior speaking down to you
standard 3 parts: 1) OA on sql 2) case with cross teams 3) team match with HM. The team match takes longer than expected. HR is slow but when they reach you. They are very transparent and clear.
The interview process started with an initial phone screening with recruiter (included case study questions), then a behavioral interview, followed by a live case study. Overall experience was good, and the difficult was average.
