I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair
Interview
Lengthy process with multiple behavioural and case interviews. Interviewers seemed disinterested as if they already have a candidate in mind and are interviewing me just as a formality.
Was given 50 min for the case interview presentation but the interviewer showed up 10 min late and blamed it on me for not finishing on time.

Question 1
Case study presentation about a video gaming company
The interview process was so well put together. The experience described was exactly what I experienced. Well described and executed. This allowed me to prepare in the most effective way.
Case interviews, many rounds, very data driven. The rounds of feedback and hiring manager role in hiring were vague. Process lingered for weeks followed by recruiter call sharing internal candidate hire.
