Walmart Global Tech interview questions and answers

Coding and design

  1. 1.Container with most water.

    What they're checking
    Two pointers.
    How to answer
    Start at both ends; move the pointer at the shorter wall inwards. O(n).

  2. 2.Write a thread-safe singleton class (Java).

    What they're checking
    Multithreading.
    How to answer
    Double-checked locking with a volatile instance, or simply a static holder class. Explain why it is needed too.

  3. 3.How do you avoid deadlock?

    What they're checking
    Concurrency.
    How to answer
    Always take locks in a fixed order, use timeouts, or hold fewer locks.

  4. 4.Design an inventory system (low-level design).

    What they're checking
    OOP design tied to retail.
    How to answer
    Classes: Product, Warehouse, Stock, Order. Stock updates must be thread-safe. Ask about requirements first.

Behavioural

  1. 5.Tell me about a project where you had a problem with the team.

    What they're checking
    Teamwork.
    How to answer
    In STAR - what the problem was, what you did, the result.

  2. 6.Why Walmart Global Tech?

    What they're checking
    Motivation.
    How to answer
    Large-scale retail and tech problems - whatever genuinely appeals to you.

More questions

  1. 7.How do you solve the producer-consumer problem?

    What they're checking
    A classic of concurrency.
    How to answer
    A shared bounded queue; the producer waits when it is full, the consumer when it is empty - in Java, a BlockingQueue or wait/notify.

  2. 8.Find a peak element in an array.

    What they're checking
    A smart use of binary search.
    How to answer
    If the middle element is smaller than the next one, a peak is on the right; otherwise on the left. O(log n).

  3. 9.SQL: find the top 5 selling items in each store.

    What they're checking
    Window functions.
    How to answer
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY store ORDER BY quantity DESC), then rank ≤ 5.

  4. 10.What is the difference between ConcurrentHashMap and a synchronized HashMap?

    What they're checking
    Java concurrency.
    How to answer
    Synchronized locks the whole map; ConcurrentHashMap locks parts of it, so many threads are fast at once.

Even more questions

  1. 11.Convert a sorted array into a balanced BST.

    What they're checking
    Recursion + trees.
    How to answer
    The middle element is the root, the left half the left subtree, the right half the right subtree - with recursion.

  2. 12.How would you build an alert before a store runs out of stock?

    What they're checking
    Retail domain thinking.
    How to answer
    A minimum level for each item; estimate from the sales rate when it will run out; alert before that.
