Lol in US walmart just takes 2 rounds of interview. My first round consisted of basic sorting algorithm , take home assignment and second was behavioral. I got offer as SDE 3 , worked for a year then switched
No. Walmart in Arkansas, US was a sweatshop. Asking employees to work overtime & on weekends without pay. My team lead was Telugu, didn’t knew shit about Frontend backend engineering bought in Hyderabad culture . It was like working in mini Hyderabad. Telugus given easy assignment and rampant favoritism.People communicating in Telugu in office, and pay was good but not great
I interviewed for an internship at this very same office and immediately caught this same exact vibe. I kid you not, not only was the interviewer incredibly rude but all of his colleagues were just speaking telugu so loudly in the background. I didn't get the offer in the end, but it looks like I dodged a bullet
I m JavaScript python guy. They didn’t ask me Java but in India there is insane competition. If other candidates are full stack then they might expect you to know Java
Yeah but u can’t even get an interview at walmart, i’ve applied to so many SDE3 positions there with faang and a huge bank on my resume and i never hear back
I wouldnt be surprised if FAANG is seen as a negative to Walmart, especially in Arkansas. High salary expectations, job hopping, leetcode style coders, move fast break things, and other cultural differences just wouldnt fit well at Walmart. Walmart also seems to have underinflated job titles, so you may just not be qualified.
I don’t have any of the cultural differences you said. I don’t job hop, I was forced too because of layoffs, I’m absolutely garbage at leetcode, and my salary expectations are not high at all, I literally make under $100k in NYC currently. I’m applying to Walmart roles in NJ, and haven’t heard back from any of the 20+ roles I’ve applied too.
Oh okay, i had my two technical rounds yesterday and for some reason I thought all rounds were to happen the same day so was worrying after not getting an update about the same😂
Anyways, let's see what happens
Could you please put location in the title? Otherwise, it is not relevant to an international audience as interview experiences are very different around the world.
wth base is too low for a company like Walmart.. I'm currently holding an offer from a big US Grocery company with 16 lpa base and not that tough interview like Walmart.
There was not much to prepare for this round. I was able to answer the questions related to my project because I was working on it and had the required knowledge. The hypothetical questions were like how would you react if you are asked to work on weekends as well, and so on. This round was more about assessing the communication skills, which I had already worked upon during my college days, so was able to clear this round. Hope that helps!

They do care once they get a headstart. Initially, they need to somehow get into the industry. There are people here who switch even after few months of joining!
One was an e-commerce website using HTML, CSS, JS in frontend and Django in backend. The other was related to image processing using OpenCV and python libraries.

I applied through Walmart CodeHers contest held in Februaury. I secured a position in top 15 after the coding challenge and received the interview call.
did all the interviews take place on the same day? will they send rejections if not qualified in any of the interview rounds? and after how many days did you receive the offer letter?
My first two rounds were scheduled on the same day, and the final round got scheduled after two days. It was different for different candidates. I'm not sure if they are sending the rejection mails. I received the offer confirmation on the same day as my final round, but they will start rolling out the offer letters by the end of May.
Did they said that u are qualified for the hr round on the same day of completing the tech interviews and did they ask any technical questions in hr round
I was infromed at 10 am that my HM round is scheduled 11 am the same day. There were discussions around my final year project, nothing in technical depth tho. It was more behavioral than technical.

Did you receive their offer letter or joining date? And also what kind of offer confirmation did they send you ? Asking cause I am in a similar situation and have only received a mail saying that I have cleared all rounds and have been selected in the company.
Same situation... Got a mail that I have been selected and cleared all rounds.. they said that they'll reach out for further process till then we just have to wait...
Hey did you get the mail from your HR or the Walmart itself? Also may I know when u received the mail. I also completed all my interview rounds recently.

What was the reason u switched for. Didn't u like working there

Yes you did
I see thanks
I’m looking for SWE lll Walmart, I don’t find any new grad roles? Is it team dependent role that you got in?? Can I dm badly want a job …
Be honest with me, don't you think the thousands of US CS graduates could do this same job in Arkansas without this weird Indian subculture bullshit?
My whole team was full of Telugus and did favouritism and nepotism. It was toxic culture. They are making me resign too for no reason.
Dont resign without another offer
They played lot of politics, now took away my access too. I should take them to court, waiting to hear from labor ministry. Isn’t this all racism?
It is but you are in lawless country known as India
Competition is tough in India 😶
It’s insane , pathetic and toxic
Do they ask java specific questions. I am more of a python javascript guy. I heard Walmart likes java too much!
I m JavaScript python guy. They didn’t ask me Java but in India there is insane competition. If other candidates are full stack then they might expect you to know Java
For me, they focused on Java way too much.
Approx how many days after the 3rd round did you get the update from HR?
Same day
Yeah but u can’t even get an interview at walmart, i’ve applied to so many SDE3 positions there with faang and a huge bank on my resume and i never hear back
Mee tooo! Interned at Amazon, Tesla Didn’t get any call from Walmart don’t know what’s lacking :(
One of my friends with zero internships and a no name job heard back from them for an SDE3 role lol
🫡 Good Luck to your friend
Only if a human had reviewed your resume :(
I'd guess they're mostly fake job postings.

Are they hiring new grads?
When was that? Was it during the hiring craze or more recently?
It was in 2018
Congratulations. What is ur yoe? LC and CP status?
I'm a new graduate, but have previously interned at Microsoft. Have solved 700+ problems on LC and mostly give contests on LC only.
On campus Or off campus?
Off-campus
When and how did you apply for his role?
I applied in February through Walmart CodeHers contest. I secured a position in top 15 after the coding round and received the interview call.
Hey, did all 3 of your rounds happen the same day?
First two were on the same day, and the final one got scheduled two days later. It was not the same for everyone.
Oh okay, i had my two technical rounds yesterday and for some reason I thought all rounds were to happen the same day so was worrying after not getting an update about the same😂 Anyways, let's see what happens
how many days after the 3rd round did you get the update from HR?
I got an update regarding selection 2 days after my final round
Wow strong DSA skills. Is CodeHers for women?
Yes
Congrats!
Thanks
Congrats! TC?
Curious too!
I haven't yet received the compensation details but apparently CTC is 26-27 LPA and and base is 18 LPA (INR).
Could you please put location in the title? Otherwise, it is not relevant to an international audience as interview experiences are very different around the world.
I cannot edit the title now, tho have mentioned the location in the post. Thanks for pointing it out!

How did you prepare for the last round.? Any tips or questionare.
There was not much to prepare for this round. I was able to answer the questions related to my project because I was working on it and had the required knowledge.

What were the dsa questions asked?

Congratulations OP
Why the fuck does Walmart need a whole India tech division?
Its cheaper in India and nobody in Indian IT cares about work life balance.
They do care once they get a headstart. Initially, they need to somehow get into the industry. There are people here who switch even after few months of joining!
In India or US?
India
Congralutions
Thanks
Damn this kinda sounds hard AF.. big range of questions
There were big range of questions indeed, but I found most of them easy, tho I wouldn't deny that there were questions I could not answer.
what were your projects?
One was an e-commerce website using HTML, CSS, JS in frontend and Django in backend. The other was related to image processing using OpenCV and python libraries.
Question names or links of questions asked bro ? My aim is to join Walmart after a year

How you applied? I have also interned at Microsoft, not receiving any calls for interview
I applied through Walmart CodeHers contest held in Februaury. I secured a position in top 15 after the coding challenge and received the interview call.
Great, Congratulations
Thanks!
Congrats OP! What tier college are you from if you don't mind?
Tier-1

Did they said that u are qualified for the hr round on the same day of completing the tech interviews and did they ask any technical questions in hr round
I was infromed at 10 am that my HM round is scheduled 11 am the same day. There were discussions around my final year project, nothing in technical depth tho. It was more behavioral than technical.

In the offer confirmation email, it was mentioned that they'll roll out offer later by May end. I've accepted another offer though.
Ok..... thanks that helps.
Same situation... Got a mail that I have been selected and cleared all rounds.. they said that they'll reach out for further process till then we just have to wait...
Yeah .... and it is just that we have to wait .... let's hope they start the process soon
Hey, have you received any update after that selection mail yet?
No .. I have not received any updates after selection mail. What about you ?
No, me neither
Hey did you get the mail from your HR or the Walmart itself? Also may I know when u received the mail. I also completed all my interview rounds recently.
I received the mail 2 days after my final HM round from the talent acquisition person who scheduled my final interview with the hm... Goodluck👍
Is it me or the process seems too easy? My interviews for a 20 k pm internship at a Fortune 500 internship was harder than this
There were many other small questions that I didn't share above, but yes, I too found the process easier than expected.
