I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart (San Bruno, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Phone interview includes resume screen, BQ and basic technical questions;
The onsite interview includes product sense, estimation, past experience, analytics, stats, ML, and business cases;
The overall process isn't difficult in tech, but probably it is because the team is not in the Walmart labs. Managers are not quite technical

Behavioral questions followed by technical questions and two coding assignments were given. I talked with different persons in different departments. The recruiters connected me to several positions and it was confusing for which position I am getting the interview. Overall, they were nice and friendly.
