I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wayfair in Jan 2019
Interview
First I took a 2-hour coding challenge on Codility. Then I had a 30-minute phone screen with my recruiter. The final step was a 1-hour technical interview with a Wayfair software engineer. I had a few days before the technical interview to complete a coding assignment; the interview itself involved extending the code I had written for that assignment.

Question 1
Give a case study based on which they asked question.
It was in spring 2022. The overall process was smooth and easy. They asked me a simple question on system design, which was pretty simple and straightforward. Using dictionary can solve the problem. I didn't get hired tho. Probably because they started hiring freeze at that time.

Interview
I found the entire process unprofessional. First they schedule an interview, then push it in the very mast minute. On the interview day, nobody joins the teams meeting, I kept waiting for an hour and had sent out couple of emails to the HR, and the interviewer to confirm if I was in the correct meeting room or if it has been rescheduled.
