Applied through referral. The process took 2 weeks.
Location: Bangalore
5 rounds including OA.
Performed well in all rounds, got LH (Leadership Hires) in coding rounds. Unsure about the non-tech rounds, but I did well. Later, the recruiter told me they strictly hire people only from BLR for L2 positions. I was committed to relocating and clearly communicated that to the recruiter and in the HR round. Apparently, L2s will accept the offer and not relocate at the last minute, while other levels will relocate to BLR. At least the recruiter could have told me that in the initial calls.
No feedback was given after the final panel discussion. Total waste of time. Will never re-apply.
They conduct in-person interviews for HM (Hiring Manager) and HR rounds. However, since I wasn't in BLR, these were done online. So much confusion around that too. The whole process felt unorganized.
Round 1 - Hacker Rank. Typical Leetcode-type questions. 1 easy, 1 medium. Passed all cases.
Round 2 - 1 medium question.
Round 3 - LLD. Had to design classes, methods, database, and API.
Round 4 - Typical HM round, no technical questions.
Round 5 - HR round, a lot of questions on relocation.
All easy-medium questions. Preparing by Googling the questions asked in Wayfair would be enough.
