      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Jun 2017

      Interview

      I was contacted by HR about my application and was asked to do a phone interview with an employee from the company, this went well, basic interview questions. My next interview was a Skype session with a member of the Operations Team. Besides some technical difficulties at the end, the overall interview was informative and fruitful. She asked a couple of case study problems pertaining to quantitative calculations as well as perspective ones about e-commerce, warehouse solutions, and shipping challenges. Some of the questions she focused on and spent much time on, however, were a bit archaic and ambigous. She asked 'if we lose communication with a ship or truck, how can we determine when it will land at our warehouse?' We spoke about this for a solid amount of time. While this question is interesting and many other questions were derived from it, is it that realistic given technological advancements in IoT development let alone the day-to-day interaction with 3PL's who handle this? A suggested formula for travel, past data, and forecasting was how I answered. My next interview was supposed to be a continuation of this first Skype one, it wasn't a Skype eventhough I was told it would be, the interviewer called my cellphone. She was ten minutes late for a thirty minute time slot, the interviewer almost acted as if we had never spoken before, she jumped right into a case study, called me by my last name instead of first name, and again, did not allow time for questions to be asked. This was very frustrating because I had a plethora of questions to ask about the position, career path, et cetera. She abruptly had to end the call, it was unorthodox and bizare. The overall process was not that challenging and the questions asked were scoped towards the position, these were positives. The negatives seem like all careless and lazy issues; technology for Skype not working, miscommunication, underbooking times for interview rooms, not allowing questions to be asked, and overall direction of the process. Put simply, I was a bit shocked.

      Question 1

      Where should we put a warehouse? How should we forecast sales/orders for the holiday season?
