I have a Karat interview for Wayfair coming up. Has anyone taken the karat test for Wayfair recently? Any help on what kind of questions to expect would be great.

    Karat is one of the worst interviewing experiences I have ever had

    • I had my Karat last month. I took redo though I did well in the first one too (just for practice). The first interviewer was more like a robot and didn't even say a word when I was coding (and thinking out loud).
      The second (redo) interviewer was very nice and I felt he genuinely discussed about approaches I proposed and also guided me with counter questions.

      Agree with you all that karat is not a good platform. I tried it as both a candidate an interview engineer for them and decided to not continue. Good engineers are most likely going to pass the wayfair onsite than karat filter (I did the wayfair onsite as well)

    I did Karat interview for Wayfair recently and had a good experience. Interviewer was respectful and attentive.
    The interview itself was a mix of easy situation-based system design questions plus one easy-medium coding question.
    I was invited to the next round.

    Did my redo yesterday, did not enjoy. Interviewers robotic; they will say "anything else you might think of?" for every system design question because they are following the script and not even looking at the camera.

    Also not sure how they expect you to get through 2 LC mediums in 30 mins total! I wrote plenty of code but couldn't finish. System design questions were not hard for me with 15YOE; I haven't heard back yet. This is for an architect role, so hopefully they are not expecting leet coding speed.
