I applied in-person. I interviewed at Walmart in Nov 2024
Interview
My technical interview at Walmart was facilitated by the Karat platform. The assessment focused on Spring Boot, comprising six technical questions. Additionally, I was tasked with debugging a Java code snippet. While the interviewer was professional and well-prepared, my Java proficiency, having been dormant for an extended period, presented a challenge during the debugging exercise.

The process started with a recruiter screening call, followed by multiple technical interviews covering coding, system design, and project discussions. The coding questions were at a medium difficulty level and focused on common data structures and algorithms. The system design rounds emphasized scalability, distributed systems, and engineering trade-offs. Interviewers also spent significant time discussing prior projects and practical software engineering experience. The final round focused on behavioral questions and team fit.
