      Labs Software Engineer Interview

      19 Apr 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Boston, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was phenomenal. I got a request for an initial phone screen two days after I sent in my application online (I applied on a Saturday, they got back to me on Monday). The technical recruiter was extremely friendly and kept me updated through the entire process. After the phone screen, I received a coding challenge. Upon completion, I was invited for a technical interview with one of their software engineers. That was about an hour. After that, I had a cultural interview with the manager of the program a few days later. Again, an hour. Between each of these interviews, the technical recruiter kept me informed and up to date, checking in with me to see how I felt about each step. Not even a week after the cultural interview, I received an offer. (All of the interviews were conducted over the phone. The technical interview was on the phone and through coderpad.)

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Technical Recruiter: Basic questions (how did you get into tech, tell me about your experience, what are you looking for, etc)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Technical Interview: Balanced Brackets, looked at some PHP code (which I had never worked with), random selection of an array
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Cultural Interview: Tell me about yourself, Why Wayfair****, Tell me about a time when.... (few of these)
      Answer question
