Process
Recruiter call Technical interview (phone) Behavioral interview (phone) Onsite
One of the worst processes. After the behavioral interview, I was told they wanted to proceed to an onsite interview. After all the scheduling, they called me and stated there was a mistake and they did not want to proceed onsite. The interview itself was very simple.

Wayfair Work Experiences
- 1.0Light Work, No DirectionSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesMay 29, 2023Pros: There was a very light workload.Cons: I do not recommend working at Wayfair. I was on the iOS dev team, and there was little oversight.
- 1.0very old technologiesSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBerlin, GermanyJuly 15, 2017Pros: Great people in the team.Cons: Very old technologies, standards used. If you come up with an idea, they tell you that you need to convince 1200 developers, which is insane. It is very difficult to change something regarding software. They don't allow it, except if you struggle a lot with it. Too much bureaucracy. No Composer, no design patterns, no SOLID principles :(
