I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Wayfair in Oct 2025
Interview
Had a coding challenge via Hackerrank. 2 problems - 1 leetcode easy, 1 leetcode medium. The next steps would be to have 2 interviews. One behavioral and one technical with recruiters.
The interview process began with an online OA coding assessment, focusing primarily on algorithmic problem-solving skills, evaluating logical thinking, code efficiency, and the ability to implement optimized solutions under time constraints.

Question 1
They asked me to solve a challenging algorithm problem that tested my ability to analyze requirements, design an efficient approach, and implement a correct solution within the given time limit.
As an applicant, the Wayfair software engineer interview felt structured and fast-paced, focusing on algorithms, SQL, system design, and culture fit, balancing technical depth with product thinking and collaboration. It was an average process
