I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in July 2021
Interview
Called by recruiter that lasted about one hour.
She went on and on with discussing the company, it sounded like they are having a tough time attracting people, perhaps the bad work-life balance.
She kept giving me the run around when i asked about hybrid or remote days. I saw this as a red flag, as someone who keeps avoiding a simple yes or no question.
I withdrew within 2 min of the call, and then they send me an email about how they are no longer considering me. No #### Sherlock!
Avoid at all costs.

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.
