I did not make it past the coding challenge but I wanted to leave a special review to describe how obnoxious it was. There were two or three brain teaser-ish questions and the third one I just found absolutely absurd. I cannot even remeber the question but I have done at least 15 coding challenges for 15 different companies in the past month and this was by far the most painful and annoying. It just irritates me that I didn't even get a chance to show my skills to a real person because I couldn't complete the timed brain teaser they chose. I understand the premise of coding challenges but at the least make them more similar to what you actually do in university and in industry. Other companies had difficult timed coding challenges but I did not mind them as much because they were more relevant to industry and university. Waste of my time
passed initial screening, was given a game home hackerrank interview assessment that was similar to a leetcode mediums. very specific set of problem I was not able to answer. I was then ghosted by the company without a formal rejection.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Mar 2026
