Process

5 interviews:

  1. Karat - Cleared

Then 4 interviews on the same day:

  1. With two immature programmers. I was explaining in between, but one of them started giving suggestions without letting me see the error. Completed the coding question before time.

  2. Database design by a senior person.

  3. Team building - A mid to senior two-person team.

  4. System Design - One senior person.

The recruiter said I did above average in database design/schema design/team building, etc., but not in coding. Lol.

Their loss. They are losing potential assets to the company based on feedback from an immature person.

It was a pleasure to meet with the senior persons from Wayfair and hear them speak.

Questions

Simple Java problem, database and system design
