I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Once they got my referral, the recruiter set up a preliminary phone screen which went fine. I was then asked for a code sample and sent a 24hr coding challenge, which I completed within the allotted time. At this point the recruiter confirmed that they had my materials and would set up further interviews, but this took over 2 weeks - during which time the recruiter wouldn't even answer my emails. Finally I got word that I would be going into a final 1hr live coding challenge with an engineer, which went fine despite the engineer having less than an hour to get in all questions. I have not heard back from anyone from the company since then despite several emails. I definitely would not apply here again.
