I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Cork) in Jan 2021
Interview
Screening call with mainly behavioural star sort of questions
Lasted about half an hour
Interviewer was late for the call and seemed disinterested throughout
The attitude of the interviewer was not professional and did through me off with the lack of engagement
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about wayfair
Tell us about your past experience and future aspirations
The interview process took over 2 months but was offered the position after multiple rounds of interviews. There was a case study but I’ve heard they’re moving away from these
Interview with hiring manager and then panel interview. HR will then reach out with details of the offer. The entire process is slow and can take multiple months to complete hiring.
Meet with way too many people, all who asked me the same questions. I didn't get to ask questions, the cases they have are way too long and cumbersome to be done well in a 45 mins interview.
