Process

First round: basic ML and background experience questions.

Second round: DSA.

Third round: data engineering questions. Waste of time, not sure why they asked data engineering tools and questions. They said PySpark is needed, and in the final round, the interviewer kept asking only about Airflow. He does not need any problem-solving skills. If anyone has experience with your required tools, hire them directly. Do not waste others' time.

The Wayfair interviewer in the third round does not have knowledge of ML and problem-solving skills. Man, it's just a tool. Just ghosted me and wasted my time. It's not good to work with these kinds of people either.

Engineer for 6 years here

Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: The engineers you work with will always help you when you get stuck. However, the documentation they provide is mostly broken link farms or outdated (older than 6 months here means everything has changed).

Cons: I liked the company until the COVID era, as management became political and disconnected from the ICs they work with. I have had great managers, as well as ones that I felt did not provide enough value for my team.
