Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
It was an HR interview, then a hiring manager interview, then a take-home test which takes about 3 hours (and you have a week to do it). After that, there were 3-4 related interviews to the take-home test.
I received a rejection letter with feedback two weeks after submitting the take-home test. In that letter, they provided a link to schedule a feedback call if I wanted to know more.

In the HR interview, they ask about:
- The reason for choosing the company

- Salary expectation
In the Hiring Manager interview, they ask about:
- Your experience
- Your ideas about testing
- How you ensure the quality of code

Wayfair Work Experiences
- 3.0Lack of communication and top-down decisionsSenior Frontend Engineer • Former EmployeeBerlin, GermanyJanuary 24, 2023Pros: My project was great, and my work-life balance was perfect. I had plenty of time to do my job and study. There was no micromanagement from my manager or my director.Cons: You must be prepared to deal with politics and people who think they were touched by God, as their personal opinion is worth more than data. Interviewing users is a big no. To be promoted, you have to know more people, not be good at your job. Things change constantly. You just know when your tickets get deleted, and new ones just appear with a deadline not given by engineers.
