- A Surprise Agentic Search Design RoundWalmart Labs · Machine Learning Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · Oct 2026
Sharing a data point. I mainly used this as a warm-up and for practice, and I pretty much didn't plan to join. This position was entirely team-specific hiring, so it could vary a lot case by case. The logistics were quite chaotic, but the conversations themselves were a pretty good experience. The first round was with the hiring manager: a casual half-hour conversation about project experience an…
- A Disorganized Onsite Hiring EventWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Onsite · Jul 2026
Actually, this is just me venting... First, the onsite is called a "hiring event," and there were about a dozen people there. After checking in, we even had to walk back to the car to put up the parking permit — pretty chaotic. The hiring manager for the BQ round was 15 minutes late! If they hadn't shown up soon, I was ready to pack up and leave. The conversation itself was pretty mediocre — not…
- A Hard Interval Problem I Blanked On in the Phone ScreenWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Rejected
The interview had two interviewers who came on together. They said they were hiring for different teams, so both of them figured they'd sit in and take a look. The original problem turned out to be an exact match for one I recognized by name, word for word — but I had actually never gone through and solved it myself before. My approach wasn't too far off: try to store the interval information, th…
- Walmart Data Scientist interview with supply-chain time series and a missed follow-upWalmart Labs · Data Scientist · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Rejected
The process felt unusually intense and a little chaotic from the start. After an initial technical screen, I had a supply-chain technical round with several interviewers. It covered SQL, Python, statistics, including a probability question, and deeper machine-learning model details. The session lasted about 1.5 hours and focused heavily on time-series modeling. It was hard to follow every prompt…
- Walmart Labs Account Executive interview: next-day callWalmart Labs · Account Executive · Other · Jul 2026Offer
After applying, I met in person with two people at the store, a sales manager and a lead cashier. It was a quick, low-stress conversation about ordinary role fit. They asked the usual questions about me, why I wanted to work there, when I could start, my availability, and whether I could handle the schedule. I also had time to ask questions. It felt more like checking whether I would be comfortab…
- Walmart Labs Software Engineer interview: a short virtual coding roundWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026No response
I applied online and received an email invitation to a virtual interview. During the call, I worked through an easy LeetCode problem that felt similar to 2-sum or a basic array question. I explained the solution during the interview and never heard back afterward. The process was short and uncomplicated, but without a follow-up it felt anticlimactic. There was no clear conclusion to the experienc…
- Walmart Labs Software Engineer interview: compact technical rounds and backend stack discussionWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
After recruiter-style contact, I entered a compact technical process that felt straightforward and clearly structured. The setup was about 30 minutes for a sequence of technical rounds, with a LeetCode-style problem as the main expectation. Between questions, I was also asked about my work history, resume, and how it mapped to my tech stack, including Kafka, Kubernetes, and Java Spring Boot. The…
- Walmart Product Manager Interview Experience: inconsistent screening and late manager callWalmart Labs · Product Manager · HR Screen · Jul 2026Rejected
My first contact was a roughly half-hour phone screen with a Staff PM. It was described as behavioral but had little advance structure, and the interviewer seemed to run it their own way. I left that call believing I would move forward. A later process had recruiter screening, a hiring-manager conversation, and additional interviews. During the recruiter call I introduced myself, then the recruit…
- A Sliding Window OA and a Backtracking Scheduling ProblemWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Apr 2026
First round OA: LC coding + AI frontend/backend Sliding window / hash map problem, data scale up to 10^5, so it had to be an O(N) solution. Description: A class has many students, and each student has exactly one specific talent. There are talentsCount total types of talent, numbered from 1 to talentsCount. Now we need to form teams for a competition, and each team must include every type of tale…
- Five Rounds, SQL Live Coding to a Senior Director Case StudyWalmart Labs · Principal Data Analyst · Senior+ · Onsite · Apr 2026Offer
This write-up was drafted with ChatGPT's help based on the reflection notes I wrote after each round, so some of the phrasing may sound a bit AI-generated — I hope that's okay, the content matches what I want to convey. I've noticed there are a lot of DS interview write-ups here but not many DA ones, so hopefully this helps people looking for DA roles. I recently got an offer for a Walmart Princi…
- System Design, Behavioral, and a Two Sum Variant OnsiteWalmart Labs · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · Mar 2026
This was a Walmart hiring event. I had passed the phone interview before, and then this physical onsite had three rounds. First round: system design, Ticket Master, done on a whiteboard. The interviewer was friendly and reminded me that I might not be following the process in the right order. You need to write the functional requirements, the non-functional requirements, then the model, the API,…
- Two Behavioral Rounds and a Messy Hiring ProcessWalmart Labs · Product Manager · Intern · Technical Screen · Jul 2024Rejected
Hi everyone, hope you're doing well this winter. This is my second post — sharing my interview experience for the Walmart PM Intern position. It seems like there aren't many PM intern write-ups on the forum, let alone for Walmart, so I hope this helps. Interview Experience Timeline: I submitted my resume in mid-October -> got the OA right after submitting -> was notified in late October to schedu…
