Process

I interviewed with Walmart for the Front End Software Engineer role.

I was first contacted by the Walmart Recruiting team.

I interviewed with both Walmart Labs and Walmart eCommerce teams.

The entire interview process was about 2 weeks. It was pretty standard.

There were phone screens, one for each team.

The person who interviewed me from the Walmart Labs team was really nice, and he seemed very skilled and knew what he was talking about. He asked some JavaScript questions, mostly DOM-related.

The other interview (the one with Walmart eCommerce), however, went really bad. The interviewer asked me to implement a data structure in JavaScript and stopped paying attention to me. I could hear him watching some video in the background. He didn't respond for a few seconds after I asked him a question.

Anyways, both the interviews went well, and they brought me onsite.

Two different onsite interviews. The questions were pretty basic algorithmic questions. They were not even tough. If you're good with basic Algorithms and Data Structures, you're good.

Both the teams liked me, and eCommerce extended an offer, which I declined. I wasn't happy with the interview experience, and so I declined.
