      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (San Bruno, CA)

      Interview

      Phone interview first with Jet.com, then they bring you to the office. (My office was San Bruno). They show you a page they printed out after searching for a specific product and ask you what you would change. Also, the position is relatively a new one.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      If you saw the CEO of jet.com and he asked you how your category was doing, what metrics would you use?

      Application

      I interviewed at Walmart (San Bruno, CA)

      Interview

      The Interview process was only a couple of rounds. An initial recruiting call, followed by 2 interviews: 1) one with the hiring manager, and one with another member from the team. The process was very seamless, and not too formal.

      Question 1

      Describe a moment how you handled adversity

      It was a very standard interview process. Overall, the entire process was completed over a range of rounds that ranged from behavioral topics to casework. The whole process was conducted in a timely manner.

      Application

      I interviewed at Walmart

      Interview

      A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, then I had a short and casual phone interview. They then made you download and take a phone “game” test thing which was very odd but I think was just there to see the effort you’d put in and look at your problem solving. If you pass this, they fly you out to San Bruno (San Francisco) for a day of interviews. They were actually pretty fun.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      First was behavioral, second was to test how much you had studied the website, and third was a case study. Ex. Tell me what you think of this image of the Walmart homepage and what looks “off” to you or what you think you would change?
