Software Engineer-I Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
I applied online and received an email from HR within two weeks to set up a phone interview. The phone interview with HR was a behavioral round, where they wanted to learn more about my background and explain the job responsibilities in detail.
I was sent a link for a coding test right after the phone interview. There was no deadline to finish the test, and I completed it two days later. It consisted of algorithm and SQL questions.
After completing the test, there was no communication regarding the decision from HR. I followed up after 10 days. HR sent an email stating that I had cleared the coding round. I was then called onsite for further interviews.
The onsite interviews consisted of three rounds: 90 minutes, 90 minutes, and 30 minutes, respectively.
- First round: System Design
- Second round: Algorithm and SQL
- Third round: Behavioral interview with the Hiring Manager
I was informed of the decision within one day.

Wayfair Work Experiences
- 1.0Please avoid mobileSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesAugust 1, 2016Pros: Good stock, a nice set of engineers. The engineers are the best. They do quick visa transfers to get the engineers quickly. They can pay market rate. That's all. Recruiters are very good and treat people nicely.Cons: Worst management in mobile. Underqualified and less knowledgeable, political management in the mobile team only waits to get the job done from senior employees. Once your work is done, they terminate you. Don't touch this company with a 10-foot pole. Highly political; you only survive if you are underpaid.
- 4.0Rapidly Evolving WorkplaceSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesJune 2, 2021Pros: Get to use the latest technology.Cons: It's hard to find subject matter experts in some technologies.

There are many complex problems we are trying to solve, and a lot of smart people are working hard on building solutions to these problems. There are many opportunities for growth, both personal and professional.Cons: Not necessarily a con (at least for me), but you need to be willing to adapt to changes quickly. This is what makes us so successful.
