Walmart Software Engineer I interview questions

found out about the job through Hired. I had a phone screen with a recruiter who was so incredibly enthusiastic about the company, it made me excited to progress in the process. I had another phone screen with an engineering team member, then they flew me out for an interview. An executive assistant booked everything for me. My in person interview was half a day in the office. I was offered the job 2 weeks later.

Initial phone call. A Technical that was not technical. This was the part of process that I kind of got thrown off by. Typically technical interviews are to assess your coding ability and knowledge of the specific stack. This was not that. First three questions were behavioral what if scenarios. The questions revolved around the same issues, and basically the same question asked over and over again. Next, I was asked to design a warehouse space and then told there was no wrong answers (often translates there is only one right answer, and you better follow it to a T). Overall, I felt a bit set up to fail. As the email describing the interview said the interview cover topics such as the basics of Computer Science and the tech stack, so immediately going into the interview I was thrown off.
