Walmart Global Tech Talent Pool Process — Anyone Familiar?

Recently went through what turned out to be a fairly extensive hiring process with Walmart Global Tech. It started with an HR prescreen call, followed by a HackerRank technical interview with a Principal Engineer, and then I was flown to Bentonville for a full day in-person final round consisting of three separate sessions — coding on whiteboard, system design, and behavioral.
At the end of the in-person interview I was told that none of the three interviewers were the actual hiring manager. Instead my scores and evaluation have been uploaded to a talent pool system where multiple hiring managers can review my profile and reach out for intro calls if interested. I was told to expect contact within a week or two.
Has anyone at Walmart Global Tech been through this process — either as a candidate or as a hiring manager?

Specifically curious about:

How active is the talent pool — do hiring managers actually pull from it regularly?
What's a realistic timeline from talent pool entry to intro call?
Does being in the talent pool prevent me from applying to specific reqs on the Walmart career site?
Any general insight into how this process works internally?

Sam Walton began importing goods from Asia—including China—during the 1970s and 1980s as a core part of his business strategy to keep prices low for consumers. While Walton famously championed a "Buy American" campaign in 1985 to support domestic manufacturing, he ultimately relied heavily on imports from overseas. In his 1992 autobiography, Made in America, Walton admitted that he was a huge purchaser of imported merchandise. He noted that Wal-Mart had no choice but to source internationally, as many American-made goods simply could not compete with foreign goods in terms of price, quality, or both. Walton's importing strategy began early in the company's expansion, establishing offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea to find the cheapest possible goods to stock his shelves. Talent pool, that's a joke, if they could hire nothing but foreigners they would, they've never been what they claimed to be.

Not even aware of talent pool...

@bg Move there to be laid off in a year.

First, You’re a fool to consider employment with Walmart. Second, Bentonville is the su-k center of the world. Taking a job there would be the worst decision you could ever make.
