I participated in the Glider assessment process as part of the hiring and internal evaluation procedure. This assessment included a combination of technical coding challenges, problem-solving questions, and scenario-based evaluations relevant to backend development and system design. It was designed to measure both technical proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and related technologies, as well as my ability to approach complex problems methodically under time constraints. Successfully completing this process not only validated my technical skills but also reinforced my capability to perform effectively in high-stakes evaluation environments.
First, standard short phone call with recruiter. Then a 1-hour interview with an engineer on the team, asked about technical experience and background, and did a live coding assessment via video call. Fairly standard Leetcode style questions
Intense but rewarding — the interview for the Software Engineer position at Walmart Labs was tougher than I anticipated. The technical rounds included an LRU Cache implementation question where I had to articulate my design thoughts on thread safety, followed by a complex system design for a real-time inventory service. What made a difference in my prep were the company-specific prompts I found on prachub.com; they really helped me understand the types of questions I might face. Despite the challenging nature of the interviews, I ultimately received an offer but chose to decline.
