Recently gave wayfair onsite loop. Following were the rounds

  • System design round
    • Tiny URL
      • With focus on scaling, key generation, partitioning etc.
      • Want you to explain your choices.
  • Application design
    • Bike rent shop
      • Focus on data object interations, sequence diagram,
  • Team Building & Leadership
    • Typical tell me a time when questions.
    • Bring in specific examples, STAR reponse and try not to answer generic way
  • Coding round
    • Add 2 strings with whole numbers. e.g. "1234" & "4321". Not allowed to convert string to int.
    • 3 variations of this
      • One with just numbers
      • Format output with commas
      • Input with commas

The overall experience was good. Before this there was a karat round with https://leetcode.com/problems/word-search/ variation where you can move just right and below. And a hiring manager screening where they do a resume deep dive.
