Interviewed Nov 2011 in Bentonville, AR (took 2 weeks)
Talked to them at a job fair, and started with a 2 person, in person interview at my university where they were recruiting from. Standard HR based questions, no technical questions at all (red flag # 1).
All the questions were geared to check how you felt about outsourcing, offshore projects and lots of red tape style procedures, (red flag # 2).
They flew me into Bentonville, AR for the interview "Event".
Very professional interview system at their office, handled by several HR people.
The Event is a series of information sessions that tell you about the company and area and also includes a final interview with one, hiring manager.
Same questions as from the initial interview with resume review questions tossed in, very easy.
They explain the difference between San Francisco, CA and Bentonville, AR and state that the, about 50,000 offer they are making is the same as a 90,000 offer in CA.
They were evasive about the standard 45 hr work week and countered the questions with their relocation bonus and employee discount and some vague bonus you will receive if Walmart meets some metric that is not described (red flag # 3).
Took tour of the area and they offered a brown bag lunch.
During the tour of the offices there is one section of about 1000+ small, desks/work areas? Hard to describe but this is where MANY of Indian "contractors" sit.
The tour guide HR person goes out of the way to emphasize that this is where "other" people work and not where you will be working (red flag # 4).
After lunch there is one final presentation where Walmart makes the pitch that it is really a technology company as much as a retailer and you are (almost to the point of begged) asked to join Walmart.
Event over and flown back home.
Several days later the official offer is sent with a request to get a drug test that day from a local (to you) testing center.
Interview Questions
You should be able to pass this interview with nothing more that canned responses from your resume, and canned responses from standard HR questions you can find online.
The only difficult question is why would you want to work for Walmart, and they do not ask that one...
Reason for Declining
Too many red flags, see interview description, plus the offer was MUCH lower than other offers I had received up to that point from other companies.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Grand Prairie, TX (took a day)
Met with the AP manager, one associate, and AP manager from another store. Asked:
Tell me about a time when you lead your team. What was the project? What were the steps you took to complete the project? And what was the outcome.
Tell me about a time when you had a disagreement with a co-worker. What was the disagreement? What were the steps you took to resolve the disagreement? And what was the outcome?
Was told there were just a few others to interview and my next interview would be 1:1 with the AP manager. He has yet to call. I called as he had requested a week later and was told he would let me know. It has been three weeks.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
I applied to be a cashier at WalMart. Like a month after I applied, I got a phone call asking me to come in for a interview. So I went in and did the interview which consists of questions like "What you did in certain situations" or " When was a time you had to do this..." The questions can be tricky because they kind of sound the same so listen carefully lol. So after the interview I had to do a drug test(which I passed) and come in for orientation. After 3 days of orientation they will put you with another cashier to get trained and after a day or so then you're on your own. The other cashiers told me that the first 3 months they will be nice to you because you're new but after that then you will see another side of some of the managers and CSM and they didnt lie lol. But overall it was ok . You will have more nice customers than rude ones so the nice ones will make you're job ok. And watch out for some of your co-workers they can be low-down snitching trying to get someone fired even if they have to lie smh

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
Interviewed by a rude person who clearly stated that they needed to hurry through the process. Needless to say its 4 months later and I have not heard a word.
Tips, ensure to have all of your main points written, ensure to ask questions and don't let Walmart rush you! It should take time to talk about your talents and abilities.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Albany, OR (took 2 days)
I turned in my app and a week later got a call from an Assistant Manager. The interview lasted about 15 minutes and consisted of a lot of "name a time when...". I received a second interview 1/2 hour later with a different Asst Manager. Same questions. A few days later I was called in and offered the job.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Yuba City, CA (took 4 days)
It consisted of 3 face to face interviews which consisted of very basic questions. The third interview is to basically offer you the job and negotiate the salary. They check your customer service skills and how sales driven are you. The managers interviewing you are really sweet and funny. I had a great experience.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 6 days)
Initially met at a career fair with local HR representative, who expressed great interest. Two days later, we scheduled for a career day at the local store for a panel interview. Although, my interest was in a corporate position, the HR representative indicated that if their offer was not acceptable, they would refer me directly to the corporate office staff.
The interview was behavioral in nature with situational answers preferred. Interested personnel should be familiar with behavioral type questions and have situations that address the primary areas. Overall, the interview went very well and the HR staff was very professional. However, the panel and the HR representative were reminded that my overall desire was to gain a corporate position and although it was originally offered, the referral to the corporate HR personnel never occurred.

Great job for someone who loves being around other people, and enjoys helping others. Great group of associates to work with, be sure to but some cashier experience on your application, because the more experience you have the more money they start you with.
