I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Received direct on-site interview call. Had 4 F2F interviews followed by lunch. A week later had 2 Skype interviews with the team.
Experience: Initially it was going pretty good. Recruiter and coordinator were really nice. Then had 4 interviews with (Principal Software Engineer, Sr. Manager Engineer (new hire), Sr. Software Engineer (new hire), Staff Software Engineer). Acc. To me, all of my interviews went pretty well and interviewers seemed to be satisfied with my responses. Specifically, principal s/w eng. was really good and I enjoyed conversation with him. Sadly, 2 of my interviewers were not even talking directly to me during the interview or making eye contact while replying to my questions. I remember once I was explaining my solution to Sr. Manager on the whiteboard and he was not even listening to my response. Rather doing something on his MacBook. I felt like I am talking to a wall and in fact paused for a minute.
Something similar happened to another interviewer who took 3-5 phone call while I was solving program on whiteboard. Another unprofessional thing: 3 out of 4 people did not even bother to ask if I have any question for them or why I want to work for them.
After these interviews, I had lunch with other team members and there I met really nice people. We were told that we will be getting our result by early next week. I did not get my result by Thursday (even when I told recruiters that I had another offer deadline). After multiple e-mails to the recruiter, I was told on next Thursday that team was busy in fixing some high priority issue and want to have a few more interviews before making final decision. I promptly requested to schedule them right way. I really appreciate the effort recruiter spent during the whole process, he was really nice person. Anyways I had 2 skype interviews back to back in next 2 hours. Both went pretty good and there were 2-3 questions which I did not know but over all I had good feeling about the interview.
Next day, in the morning I was told that my skill set does not match with their requirement. I was not happy at all to hear but this was my first interview reject for which I did not feel any regrets and be sad. Hoping it was not a perfect fit for me.
It was good... standard questions.
Most around java , spring . The interviewer gave honest feedback and right answer and also the scope of improvement. Three round of interviews followed by salary discussion seems to be a standard process. It might stretch to more rounds based on need.

Interview
Had a Karat interview today. The engineer was super smart and nice, and explained the whole process clearly. We started with ReactJS questions, but I'm pretty new to it, so that was tough. Luckily, the interviewer was really cool about it and didn't make me feel bad.
Then we moved on to coding. The question was a good one – not super easy, but definitely solvable. I think I came up with a solid approach, and we even talked about how efficient it was.
Overall, it was a good experience. Even though I struggled with the React part, I felt respected and appreciated. Definitely a positive vibe!
