      Category Manager Interview

      6 Jun 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in May 2018

      Interview

      Overall, I found my experience with Wayfair negative. Though everyone I met was very nice and clearly enjoyed working there - every step of the process was quite poorly handled. People were over 15 minutes late for each round, including the in-person, where I was left sitting on the sofa for over 20 minutes before anyone turned up (as they also don't have a reception). After my final round, I heard one week later to ask me to wait another week, then another week then nothing until I used my internal contact to find out more information. This was over 3 weeks since I went in for my in-person. Finally, I felt interviewers were nice but quite assertive like they were testing for a slip up (obviously testing as it is an interview but it was the way in which this was done!). Most people I met had been with the company for quite a while which is nice but there was a sense the organisation was acting quite re-actively and it was quite chaotic. I know other people have had smoother experiences but unfortunately the process put me off wanting to work for the company - I think being conscious of people's time and efforts is respectful. Things happen but notifying them you will be over 15 minutes late is a polite thing to do (especially when they were late on more than one occasion).

      Application

      I interviewed at Wayfair

      Interview

      4 x 45 min interviews back to back with various team members. One a role play, one a maths test, other two more competency based. Very intense and felt excessive.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Wayfair (Berlin)

      Interview

      Process was well organised. It seamed all very professional until the interview. The woman who interviewed me was not prepared. She had no specific questions, did not know anything about me and did not even have my CV.
