I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair in Oct 2016
Interview
I had two interviews. The first was a phone screen with a recruiter. The second was with someone in the department for which I had applied. The questions were pretty straightforward and I thought I had done quite well. The first phone screen was very short and basic. The second was around 30-40 minutes and asked mostly behavioral questions with a couple of technical questions. Nothing too out of the normal or difficult.

Question 1
Time you worked in a team?
What are some past data science projects you have worked on?
Had a recruiter screening, behavioral interview with a hiring manager from the team, and case interview with a more technical manager. Case was medium difficulty, I struggled but ended up getting the offer.
Not difficult at all, just do a case and a series of behavioral - you just have to understand that they care about cross functional leadership. Very flat organization - you will be interviewed by random senior managers who don't care that much if you get hired or not

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work well with others
1st round case — very straightforward and was about 45 mins
2nd round behavioral — 2 back to back 45 mins interviews
They send an interview guideline sheet to prep with beforehand, which was helpful and if you go by that you will be fine.
