I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (San Jose, CA)
Interview
The process was horrible.
I tired many time to Walmart eCommerce in the hope that I will get good person to take an interview. But till now all of them were having horrible attitude. Below is some example:
- One person asked me questions which does not even make sense and as I asked him for the answer he gave reason that there is not enough time to discuss in fact I was having 5 mins.
- Another person asked me programming question and went away in the mean time I was typing the code and trying to explain each and every steps and that person was not there. After coming back that person told me to go through steps one by one. when I was giving explaining he did not give any interest.
If you give interview be prepare for horrible attitude since they will think that they are superior than others.
I have given all top companies interview but this one has worst people don't know what they are asking.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about Thread Local, Thread Local use , Risk of Thread Local.
Looking back, I feel like I gained a clearer understanding of the process, even though I ultimately turned down the offer. The technical rounds were straightforward, featuring an implementation question on an LRU cache and a system design question about a rate limiter for an API. What helped me a lot was the walkthroughs for system design I went through on PracHub, which made those types of questions feel familiar. Overall, it was an easy experience, but I just didn't feel it was the right fit for me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Implement an LRU cache with O(1) get and put using a hash map plus doubly linked list
First, standard short phone call with recruiter. Then a 1-hour interview with an engineer on the team, asked about technical experience and background, and did a live coding assessment via video call. Fairly standard Leetcode style questions
Intense but rewarding — the interview for the Software Engineer position at Walmart Labs was tougher than I anticipated. The technical rounds included an LRU Cache implementation question where I had to articulate my design thoughts on thread safety, followed by a complex system design for a real-time inventory service. What made a difference in my prep were the company-specific prompts I found on prachub.com; they really helped me understand the types of questions I might face. Despite the challenging nature of the interviews, I ultimately received an offer but chose to decline.
