Connected through a recruiter. Had a phone interview with internal recruiter, who was very nice and explained the organization in detail. Then a phone interview with a data science director. We just talked about my experience and what they do and somewhere along the way he seemed to have lost interest. Later I was told that my skill set was not a good fit. It was a pleasant experience still but I wish I knew what specific skillset they were looking for and why it was not obvious from my resume that I do not have that so that both sides can save some time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Mar 2026

Interview
Technical Interview on SQL and Python. Makes you program a machine learning model and write intermediate SQL commands. Overall, not too difficult, and it takes roughly 75 minutes. I would suggest praticing on Hackerrank
Very average interview where the questions were ambiguous. It was very ambiguity. And not clear on the requirement. So in short not difficult. Hard to say if anyone should interview for this company
