First, standard short phone call with recruiter. Then a 1-hour interview with an engineer on the team, asked about technical experience and background, and did a live coding assessment via video call. Fairly standard Leetcode style questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walmart (Bengaluru) in Nov 2015
Interview
First I had a talk with the HR about the interview process, he gave a detailed overview. Total of 3 rounds with the team. One coding/algorithm, old projects/languages and final round about system design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Dynamical programming questions in algo round. If you are Java guy read about JVM and optimisations.
Intense but rewarding — the interview for the Software Engineer position at Walmart Labs was tougher than I anticipated. The technical rounds included an LRU Cache implementation question where I had to articulate my design thoughts on thread safety, followed by a complex system design for a real-time inventory service. What made a difference in my prep were the company-specific prompts I found on prachub.com; they really helped me understand the types of questions I might face. Despite the challenging nature of the interviews, I ultimately received an offer but chose to decline.
