I was excited about interviewing for Walmart when I first got the call, but later realized I just wasted 1.5 hours of my time. A recruiter reached out to me asking if I would be interested in a senior role and immediately set up a virtual meeting the very next day without asking my availability, which I felt was very unprofessional. I accepted the interview since I didn't want to let it go and thought it would be mostly behavioral/resume walkthrough, since they didn't give me time for preparation. I was sent a meeting invite on Zoom.

On the day of the interview, two people joined the meeting who were Indian (they have a very strong Indian accent). They started off with the interview even without asking me about how my day was going, etc. They asked several hit/miss type questions to which they expected bookish answers. There was no encouragement, and they didn't even say if I was right/wrong for any answer. Then they asked me to share my screen and gave two coding questions, which were fairly easy. I took some time in answering one of them since the interviewer was reluctant to agree to different ways of solving it and expected me to solve it the way he wanted.

Throughout the interview process, all I could hear from them were, "Oh! This is very easy. Why are you taking so long?", "Anyone can solve these even without preparation," etc., which was so discouraging.

I work at a big firm where people around are so encouraging and positive and expected the same from Walmart. But to my surprise, the experience was so bad that I wouldn't have dared to go and work for them even if they offered me a position.
