I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I spoke to one of their recruiters over LinkedIn, agreeing to set up a phone interview. I missed his phone call by a minute but was unable to reach him once I called back. He offered to reschedule and offered a time on the following Monday, which I agreed to. He never communicated with me in any way again, by phone or by email. Wayfair might be a wonderful company to work for, but I will think twice before buying their products, because of the rudeness with which I was treated.
