I interviewed at Wayfair
Interview
Straightforward and typical phone interview screening. Questions they asked were to get to know you and see if I'd be a right fit. I was asked to come in for an on-sight interview next, but declined due to accepting another job opportunity.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Sept 2017
Interview
First, a phone call with HR. Then a phone call with a hiring manager. Then I went in for an in person round with 4 different people. There were two case study interviews, and two fit/skills/leadership/teamwork interviews. The case studies were great thought problems to think through, with some basic math. The other interviews were pretty traditional in scope and types of questions. There was a very quick turnaround, and I had a hiring decision the following day.
