I applied for the job (in late-June) via a business program that I attended in June. The process took about six weeks (until the beginning of August). A week later I did a call with a third party recruiter who asked me basic behavioral questions and walked through my resume. They also asked for my GPA (they said that it needed to be over 3.4 / 4.0) and sent me to the next step. The next step was to play a mobile game called Arctic Shores where you basically do various mini-games that test your personality. Though I didn't fully understand how the game was graded/analyzed, I passed and was put into contact with the Walmart eCommerce headquarters in San Bruno. Here's where things got weird. I was told that the San Bruno headquarters were going to reach out to me within a few days but it took them two weeks. It would be yet another two weeks for me to fly out and do my onsite interview. Overall, the onsite interview was very fast-paced. They started with a rapid tour of the dining hall and gym and then put you in a room where you meet the interviewers. The first interviewer showed up late and asked me behavioral questions like "name a time you received negative feedback" and "tell me your biggest strength and biggest weakness." The second interviewer showed me an outdated picture of the Walmart eCommerce website and asked me what I would do to make the webpage look better. The third interviewer asked me how I would effectively price batteries for Walmart eCommerce. This was a tough one and I'm certain that she was looking for a specific answer that I was not getting. The interviewer kept asking me "What else" "What else" "What else" and I kept talking. Finally, I met with two Category Specialists who were there to answer any questions that me or the other interviewees may have had. Then, after two hours of interviews, it was over. About a week later, I received an email from a "noreply" domain, telling me that I had been rejected as a candidate. Overall, when I saw the Walmart eCommerce headquarters, I was rather surprised to see how disorganized the state of its business was. People were running around all over the place and the tour was done hurriedly. I also never got to meet the HR rep who came into contact with me though I did see her pass by. Additionally, the interviewers claimed that I had been put up for the position of Category Specialist -Home Improvement, Sporting Goods, Outdoor, Tools, and Automotive opening, when I had been told on the phone that I was on the General track. This caused a lot of confusion on my part when I was doing the behavioral interview since I had not had time to prepare for those specific categories. At the end, when I received an impersonal "noreply" email I felt a bit insulted that I was rejected by an automatic email and not the recruiter I was in contact with. I'm honestly glad that I was rejected because I felt that I was underqualified compared to the other candidates. I was a Bachelors student with a Liberal arts degree while the other candidates were graduates with Masters degrees in quantitative fields like Data and Engineering. Regardless, it did seem like many of the Category Specialists cam from varying majors/degrees.

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.
