Full Stack Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hebron, Kentucky
Process
I was referred through an employee. The position as posted on LinkedIn showed that it was an entry-level position.
I received a call from the recruiter to go over the role and company and to know more about my background. The recruiter was extremely cold and unfriendly and asked questions like, "How big of a database have you worked on?" and "Do you know ORM?"
At the end, they stated that the role was more of a senior-level position (5-7 years of experience).
I did not receive any communication after the call and received a generic rejection email on a Sunday morning.
Please give candidates a chance to talk to a technical person before rejecting them based on programming language, technologies, number of years of experience, etc.
Questions
Database size I have worked with?

Wayfair Work Experiences
- 2.0It used to be a great cultureEngineer • Current EmployeeNorthern, Kentucky, United StatesOctober 19, 2022Pros: Benefits and coworkers that I had.Cons: - Awful leadership! Unqualified and oblivious local management. - Disconnected and incapable senior management. - A once great culture has been destroyed by micromanagement and unprofessional individuals who have no leadership ability. - Holding meetings about other meetings, with no real accountability or professionalism. - No career development or sense of advancement. You do not feel valued as a contributor in the engineering org. Operations employees have more bonus potential and perks than the rest of Wayfair. - Pay has fallen behind the standard market value.
- 4.0Talented Team, Hit Or Miss ManagersSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesJanuary 28, 2015Pros: Laid-back environment; many of the other engineers are quite talented. Managers seemed to be hit or miss. Mine was astoundingly excellent, but friends I had there would often complain about theirs. Great work-life balance. I only had to stay late once or twice in a year. Plus, it's right within walking distance of a ton of good restaurants, and you can go out whenever for food. Nobody's staring over your shoulder.Cons: There are a few people who are a bit difficult to get along with, but that's true of anywhere. Some of the managers are a little incompetent, so you might be very happy or very frustrated depending on what team you're on.
