I applied online, and the process took 4 weeks.
The first round is a coding challenge, for which you will be given 24 hours to complete. Along with that, you will be asked to send a project that you worked on.
After a week or so, another round is scheduled that is for 60 minutes.
After 1-2 weeks, I got the offer.

I worked for under a year at Wayfair. Overall, I felt like a small cog in a large machine. It's hard to feel as though you are a meaningful contributor to the overall company.
