Summary

I interviewed for an SSE position at Walmart in Bangalore in July 2020. The process involved two virtual rounds focused on data structures and algorithms, covering problems like 'First Unique Character in a String' and 'Coin Change'. Despite completing the rounds, I never received feedback from HR and assumed I was not selected for the role.

Full Experience

I received a call from a recruiter at Walmart and my interview was scheduled for an SSE position in Bangalore in July 2020. There was no online assessment. The interview process consisted of two virtual on-site rounds.

In the first round, I was asked to solve 'First Unique Character in a String'. Following that, I tackled 'Coin Change', with an additional variation to list the actual coins used to reach the total amount.

The second round also focused on data structures and algorithms. The first problem presented was 'Arranging Coins', which led to an extensive discussion lasting over an hour. This was followed by the 'Keys and Rooms' problem.

After completing both rounds, I did not receive any feedback or response from HR, leading me to assume that I was not considered for further rounds, which I found frustrating.
