I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Hyderābād) in Jul 2023
Interview
I have never met with such a rude and arogant employee or interviewer in my life. The problem he asked was adding of two large no’s in Java. I told him the approach and moved with writing the code but during that whole time he was passing rude comments and laughing as if I have done a blunder. I will not recommend anyone to go for interviews with this company. He was not only rude but had an intention of insulting the interviewee. I genuinely feel that nobody has the right to insult the interviewee by passing comments like “are you giving interviews for first time” or “we are doing such additions since class 1” and laughing in between. Even if anyone dont know what what no’s are still no one gave the right to insult. Pathetic experience, worst interview. No words for interviewer.
HR reached out and scheduled the discussion - discussed the details of the position.
One Online assignment
Scheduled one DSA round. - medium leetcode
System design round discussion - where we discussed the details of the different component of the system

Interview
Overall ok but the coding test environment is like a black box that you just can’t debug. If you solve by debugging, you’re doomed. LeetCode won’t really prepare you for this.
