      Assistant Buyer Interview

      2 Apr 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair in Feb 2014

      Interview

      After applying to the role via LinkedIn, a coordinator in the recruitment team approached me to organise a phone interview with an internal recruiter. The person interviewing me was 15 minutes late for the call, which I only received after emailing to see if it was still happening as I only had a 30 minute window! During the call it was clear that I didn't have a sufficient level of experience for the position, but the recruiter expressed that she felt I had a good attitude and soft skills and said and they'd be in touch with feedback and next steps. I never received an email or phone call to give me feedback from the interview or to confirm that I hadn't made it to the next stage. I did email the coordinator to chase this up but had no response. I have no doubt that Wayfair is a great company and probably has a fantastic working environment, however their internal recruitment team seem to operate in a pretty unprofessional way. As the face of the business to prospective candidates, I imagine this will have a negative effect somewhere down the line. Presumably the candidates who have successful interviews get better treatment, but how do they know someone might not be an interesting match for another role at a later date? An email to inform a candidate as to the outcome of their interview is a common courtesy!

      Assistant Buyer Interview

      4 Aug 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Berlin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wayfair (Berlin)

      Interview

      It was quite straight forward. Not too difficult. This company was hiring a lot back at the time and I believe it was not too difficult to get in. As soon as you had studied something in Universitiy as speak at least 3 languages , being a bit nice and smart was enough to pass the interview.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      Applied online and had a phone interview a few days later. Phone interview included basic resume questions as well as some scenario based questions. A basic math question is also asked. I moved on to the next round which was google hangout interview with one person. The interview questions regarded data you are provided with shortly before the interview. I was told I would hear back in about 1 week. I never heard back even after sending an initial thank you email and follow-up after a week had past. Given the amount of time put into applying and preparing, I found it rude not hearing back.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      30 minute phone interview followed by in-house interview with different teams. I was asked to run through my background and current job. I had a very hard time hearing because there was a lot of background noise on their end and it was difficult to keep focus at times.
