Wayfair Senior Analyst interview questions

Short Story: 5-6 interviews. They keep a running list of top applicants and string along the others that they consider for months. Then they fire hundreds of the newer employees at a time within months of hiring them because they have a very short term strategy or inept at identifying the labor required for their failed business functions. Long Story: Went through 5-6 interviews that spanned a few months. Once I reached the fourth interview, the recruiter forgot to schedule it. Then two weeks later the recruiter replied and said they there were other managers interested for different verticals. Had one of those managers ghost me on the scheduled interview and then finished with a manager who was late to the interview while he was working from home. Worst applicant experience. This company hires 100+ at a time and then fires hundreds at a time for roles that they originally needed to fill in the short run. Check the news, they are always firing (outside of leading on candidates for months with roles that are unlikely to sustain themselves). Deceptive by design. Part of their company strategy is convincing candidates that they are a “tech company”. I wanted to ask: How does selling light fixtures, cheap furniture and household items via e-commerce make you a tech company? Moral of the Story: A) They are not a tech company, this is a ploy to recruit data driven kids with skills to create an image. B) I didn’t write all of this just because they wasted my time through 5-6 interviews (nor mad for not getting an offer). Just want to warn others for their toxic hire/fire culture. C) If you decide to apply anyway, best of luck. I would hold it precedent by asking the recruiter in the phone screen how many interviews are part of the process. Then I would remember this when they ghost you or kick the can on the 5th interview.

I usually get to know when my interview did not work well. It did not this time and I did not get an offer letter either. Hence, I would recommend coordinate with the recruiter at all cost.
