Pros

- Yummy, nutritious snacks available for free - Big bonuses (if you aren't forced at the bottom of the stack ranking) - Flexible working arrangements if you have the right manager

Cons

This office was originally a startup that went bankrupt and Walmart acquired it, and all of the management from the startup (that failed) stayed, so as you can imagine, there is some terrible management here. - No diversity, management only likes to hire H1B candidates because they can't quit - Very political, people get promoted based on time there - Most people in Bentonville are very incompetent, and everyone in Bentonville hates everyone in the Reston office - Terrible health insurance - Hiring like crazy, definitely in the "trying to get butts in seats" mode at the moment

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
