Most interviews are behavior based but low pressure and casual. There is a case but it is extremely relevant to the job description, so I found it very easy. If you’re qualified for the role you should do well.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Very disrespectful process. The initial contact from HR was email from personal account, not using any hiring tool, and was relatively unprofessional verses the other contact emails I have gotten. First conversation is just to make sure you're not wholly unqualified. Tell me about your resume, etc.
The second interview went very well, director level, we had a conversation about the role and how my expertise would align with the company goals.
Third interview, where I lost the opportunity, was a consultant style math test. They want to see how you perform and think under pressure and give you worksheets prior on how to prepare (my HR rep did not provide until 18hrs prior). Fine, I've never been a great test taker, but I can work through a problem and think about all the teams, department and impacts a marketing campaign can stir up. With COVID, making me live stream a math exam and not be able to use tools like excel, Tableau and the like that I've become accustom to is well, stupid. Also, my interviewer fresh off an MBA and 3 years total work experience didn't make me feel like I was being taken seriously for a senior role. Congrats, you're 150k in debt and therefore able to decide if I'm am a viable candidate for a niche role.

Question 1
Email scenario; response rates and open rate and a mélange of basic metrics and then you need to crank out an answer. Then talk through if you would test or not. Really not brain surgery.
