I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Intense, but quick. The recruiter was very efficient in moving forward to the next step. The interview panels were mostly friendly, except for 2 aggressive managers who weren't satisfied with any answers except what they had in mind. It was a tiring, 5 hour long process of meeting 8-9 people, individually or in panels of 2. It's often hard to say exactly what they want you to say, and they're looking for very specific check points.

Very average interview where the questions were ambiguous. It was very ambiguity. And not clear on the requirement. So in short not difficult. Hard to say if anyone should interview for this company
