I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Cambridge, MN) in May 2016
Interview
Extremely easy. I interviewed to work in the bakery. They only asked me one question, something like "when have you gone above and beyond for a customer?" The interviewer seemed more interested in screening bad apples than finding the top candidates - this made sense later when I got the job and discovered that they were very understaffed in the bakery.

Question 1
When have you gone above and beyond for a customer?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Bentonville, AR) in Feb 2019
Interview
Aced the initial HR phone interview. Recruited liked me and gave me a date to meet with the hiring managers. It was a panel interview over video call with 2 directors. I did very well in the interview and felt confident. I wasn't stumped on any question and had prepared. And the two of them seemed to like me. About 3 weeks later I contacted them to find out what my status was. They said they moved on and just never bothered letting me know. I thought that was a little rude. I found out later that big companies like this tend to already have people in mind for the position, but just have to meet a quota of the amount of people they need to interview to not seem biased.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Bengaluru)
Interview
An interviewer walks in with an all-knowing attitude and starts talking more and listening less. Keeps showing off that he is the boss, being the interviewer. Has some notion in his mind, that he thinks is the only correct answer, and dismisses anything else that is said as totally irrelevant and wrong. It is more like a "guess-what-is-in-my-mind" game, than assessing a Product Manager's innovative thinking process. The company may miss the right candidates just because of one person who is too haughty to learn the psychology and art of interviewing.
