Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 5 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Wayfair (Boston, MA) em out. de 2014
Entrevista
Applied online and was contacted a few weeks later. Then set up a phone interview shortly after, which was 30 minutes long. She asked me basic questions about my background. Some more specific questions about negotiating and challenges. "tell me about at time when you had to negotiate", "tell me about a time when you had to convince someone and come to a conclusion as a group", "tell me about a time when you had a challenge and you took initiative to make a recommendation". Then the next week I was contacted to set up an in person interview at Copley.
Once at their office. You quickly speak to the recruiter who sets you up with three meetings (2 people per meeting). One is a fit interview, which is a standard interview with similar questions. The second is a scenario analysis, where you go through 5 scenarios and say what you would do in the situation, how you would handle it, what information would you need to come to a conclusion. The final is a case study, which involves financial data and you need to identify trends (low level) and identify why things went the way they did.
Overall it was a good experience. Although it is advertised as an entry level job, they seemed to expect a lot of negotiation experience, which I would think would be hard to come by with a grad.

Pergunta 1
If you had a boring category like home health (wheelchairs etc). How would you get excited to come to work every day, what would motivate you?
The case is challenging. They will help you a little, but it is hard to digest and spit back out in 10 minutes.

Starting with phone screen with recruiter, then a case study, and lastly a behavioral interview.
the recruiter will provide guides for all stages of the interview process.
There is also a video provided as an example for the case study interviews.

I interviewed with Wayfair several times. Each time I was rejected. I was scheduled for another interview. After an hour the person who set up the interview came back to me and said "this position is looking for a similar skill set from the other positions you interviewed for. So we are cancelling the interview. I was polite and asked where is the skill gap that was identified in the previous interviews that is missing? They said they weren't the person working on the position. I then asked how did you arrive at the conclusion that I had a skill gap and whose the best person to address it with? They would not answer after that. I found this process unprofessional that my resume grabbed their attention however they would not address any skill gaps.

Entrevista
Lets just say I am very disappointed in Wayfair. The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn to discuss a few open positions they wanted to place me in. I had a 30 min phone call with the recruiter, who then set up the initial case study interview. After the case study happened (I think I did well, but honestly received 0 feedback), I was told the position had internal interest and they have to interview all of them first. Fine by me, internal promoting is a great practice, but why are you wasting my time if you reached out to me. After another week and a half of waiting, the recruiter passed me off to another recruiter to see if another position was open. There were some other spots open, so the recruiter set up three additional interviews (2 behavioral, and 1 more case study) over the course of 3 separate days. After I finished the interviews, I was told to wait another week just to get a phone call saying everyone really liked meeting you but we are moving forward with other candidates. What baffles me is the fact that I didn't even apply for these positions, and they strung me along keeping my hopes high throughout the entire month and a half long process just to be told no.
