I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Walmart (Woodstock, GA) in May 2011
Interview
Internal, external, and transfer applicants are interviewed. Not sure how it works at other companies, but Walmart's "career preference" system is ingenious allowing associates to express interest in any position in the company that they are qualified for, see pay, and other factors, then when a position comes open they are automatically submitted for an interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions are very specific, requiring specific experience based responses.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Fayetteville, NC) in Mar 2013
Interview
The initial interview is a one on one basic interview. They have a hiring packet that they use and read you one of two questions for 5 sections. They are questions like "Describe a time when you used good judgment in handling a difficult situation...What were the circumstances? What policies or procedures did you use to make your decision? What was the outcome? The second Interview was a panel interview where they asked you more questions like that in front of 3 or 4 people of management.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Huntsville, AL) in Feb 2009
Interview
Unorganized, scripted, poorly conducted. My background is manufacturing, and the few years I have been stuck in retail have been tortuous. I pray this recession soon improves. There has got to be a better way to make a living! There is no respect for accomplishment, and independent thought is not only frowned upon, it is forbotten!
