Parallel interviewing at Walmart

I got reached out by a recruiter at Walmart, and decided to sit for their process. Before my interviews had officially begun, another team reached out to me for another position. Since this was a more close fit, I wanted to appear for their process too. So as it happens, right now two sets of interviews are going on simultaneously. I wasn't asked explicitly about past or current interviewing history, and haven't disclosed it either.

1. Should I disclose, or just go ahead with the process? If I do disclose, do I get rejected from one or both teams? If I don't disclose, how does it affect offers (if I get both offers, or if I get rejected at one)

2. I saw another opening that I actually really like. I really really want to sit for that process too. But I'm scared that parallel interviewing for three teams might be taking it too far.

What do I do? I don't particularly like the profile where I'm farthest along, I somewhat like the next team, but I really like the last team for which I haven't applied yet. I don't plan on accepting multiple offers in the same company obviously. Just need to know if there's any way I can apply for the role, which unfortunately I came to know about last but which I like the most.

Help me out, Walmart peeps

      They are in increasing order of when they first contacted me, and in decreasing order of how much I dislike the role πŸ˜›

    Sounds normal for WM. Recruiting is very much siloed. Definitely tell the recruiter you're working with that you're interested in the new position and they can relay to that recruiter and hiring manager. If everyone is fully informed, they may only do an intensive multi-part interview for one position and based on results of that do a simpler one-person interview for the second/third positions.

    No harm in telling both recruiters. They could decide to combine parts of the interview (like tech pre-screen) and only do other parts individually (team fit).

    Each recruiter has their own set of jobs they recruit for; so if you're after two jobs it's not unusual to work with two recruiters. Is sill, but normal for WM and other big companies I've worked at.
