Applied online > coding challenge > phone screen > on-site: behavioral and technical, back-to-back.
The coding challenge was three hours and consisted of three problems; you were given two hours to complete it.
For the phone screen, I had many questions prepared that I asked different employees, and I had many reasons why I wanted to work at Wayfair ready.
The on-site behavioral portion was an opportunity for me to ask more about the program and to show I could have a pleasant, fun conversation. They asked me one actual interview question during the 30-40 minutes, and it was very upbeat and human.
Finally, the on-site technical portion (minutes after behavioral) involved reviewing and explaining code I had written the previous day. I had been given a JavaScript class and was told to make it able to do X, Y, and Z. The interviewer threw ideas or challenges my way to see how I would approach those problems and what my code was like. It was a mix of actual coding and pseudocoding.
When was a time you worked on a team with someone who wasn't cooperative, and how did you respond?
