I applied through university. I interviewed at Walmart (Bengaluru) in Aug 2018
Interview
The interview process was pretty average .The selection depended on the interviewer you were assigned to.If you are lucky then you are just asked questions on your project else they ask you to code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a string of the form AB2C3 and an int k.Expand the string as ABABC3 then ABABCABABCABABC. The task is to find the kth element. You have limited memory so you can not expand the entire string. You just have to find the kth element.
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.
