I appreciated the end-to-end breadth of real engineering challenges—moving from data structure fundamentals (custom heap) and architecture diagrams to relational database modeling and writing an ETL script to ingest disparate data into SQLite. It provided a clear, practical picture of how Walmart Global Tech tackles enterprise-scale logistics and data pipelines.

I liked that the simulation provided practical, job related tasks rather than only theoretical questions. I gained hands on experience with data structures in Java, UML and software architecture, relational database design, and Python with SQLite. The tasks also helped me understand how software engineering concepts are applied in real world projects.

I enjoyed how practical and realistic the simulation felt. The tasks gave me a better understanding of how the skills and concepts would be applied in a real work environment. I also liked being able to work through problems independently and think through the different steps needed to reach a solution.
