      Senior Staff Engineer/Director Interview

      18 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      There were several calls with the in house recruiter before arranging a technical screening. The tech screen was conducted by a strong engineer from the group. He asked a question modeled after a real-world problem rather than some random array problem. They used a coding tool that could run your code. After clearing the tech screening I met with the hiring executive by phone. This led to a decision to bring me on site. On site interview was all day and included the VP in charge of the group and the CTO. During a one hour session there was a business problem stated on a paper and I was asked to develop a plan to implement the feature. Lunch, coffee and refreshments were appropriately provided.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A fictitious website was created and there was a desire to quickly test whether a new feature could improve the sites revenue performance. The problem statement included a high level architectural diagram of the existing system.
