The interviewer is putting you on the spot just slightly! They want to hear the steps that you took to prepare for your interview today. The wrong answer is that you are winging it. Even if you did not have a lot of time to prep for the meeting or a last-minute booking, chances are you still took the time to research Wayfair online or read through the job description. Wayfair even offers interview success tips on their careers website, which you may find helpful during your interview prep time.

"I am aware that you launched collaborations with a few new brands this year, so I have taken significant time to learn about them. I have watched YouTube videos and tutorials on your sales process and have familiarized myself with your latest advertising campaign in the USA and Canada."

I looked at Wayfair's engineering blog and got to know some of the technologies utilized across the 800 team members. I also looked at other engineering cultures like Hubspot and Spotify that I respect and admire to see if engineering principles and best practices I've been championing still apply. Focus on the customer, think big, provide your team with a vision, and give them some autonomy and make sure your team has the support necessary to deliver great results are all principles I stand by.

I tried to get as much information as possible online about the company and I spent some time on your website to get a better understanding of the different categories that you offer.
I was also given some material from HR to check in preparation for the interview which I found amazing, I haven't experienced anything like that from other companies so far.
