I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Walmart in Feb 2020
Interview
Questions were not so difficult as was the environment/atmosphere the panel created. All three men with very condescending and dismissive attitudes and seemed very unimpressed right off the bat. Also asked me why my GPA was low (3.2) and was not prepared for the hostility. Know DS/ML concepts well and don't rely on the interviewer to help or instill confidence in any way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What is R-squared?
2. Inter-Cluster vs. Intra-Cluster distance measurements
3. How to handle missing data?
4. How to pick most important features in data?
It was not that bad, 3 initial rounds overall okay, it would have been nice if they added some more depth in questions and asked good questions.
and it would have been great if they call or tell something before interview.
terrible Data Scientist role interview process, took 3 months and got rejected after final interview where the interviewer didn't have my resume and asked something else which the recruiter did not mention to prepare
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Bentonville, AR) in Mar 2026
Interview
A recruiter phone call and then a coding round. SQL medium + predictive modeling. I think the modeling task could be a take-home assignment. However, the test was closed before the promised time. It was a 89-minute test.
