Walmart | Software Engineer III Intern Summer | April [Offer] | Sunnyvale US

Position - Software Engineer III Summer Intern

Interview Process:

Coding Assessment - 1 Leetcode question (Remove Colored Pieces if Both Neighbors are the Same Color), 1 SQL question, 4 MCQs (questions related to Code Output and Debugging)

Workstyle Assessment - Behavioral questions (very similar to Amazon's workstyle assessment)

1st Interview (45 mins) - You will be given a homework assignment 24 hours before your 1st interview. You must select one of two options: backend or frontend. I chose backend. The question was similar to allocation of seats in a Movie Theatre keeping covid protocols in mind.

The interview was scheduled for 45 mins, started with my introduction, why I chose to do this question, why I used Python, complete walkthrough of code, walkthrough of the test cases I had written, and follow-up questions related to the logic used. Nothing outside the assignment was asked.

2nd Interview (65 mins) - The interview ran 20 mins over the scheduled 45 mins.

Started with my introduction, and then the interviewer's introduction.

System Design (45 mins): Design a system to count the number of people present inside Sam's club at a given point in time. The interviewer explained what this was and what she expected. Expectations - High level System Design, Low Level System Design, API design. She followed it up with some SQL queries related to the system design.

1 Leetcode easy problem (10 mins) - I wasn't given much time, so quick thinking and a correct approach were expected.

Several technical questions -

1. What do you know about Software Testing, and types of Software Testing? Which type of testing have you performed?
2. How do you handle errors?
3. What do you know about CI/CD pipeline?
4. What is Jenkins, how is it used?
5. What do you know about Cloud?

Overall, it was a positive experience. Both interviewers were very helpful and friendly.

I received the final offer on April 20. The entire process took a month.
