Pros

A whopping 10% discount on some items at Walmart They hire junior devs with little experience

Cons

No physical office and no stipend to pay for co-working spaces even if that's the environment you need to be productive (I pay $250/mo in order to be an effective employee). Very little employee appreciation. They ask salaried home office employees to "give back" by volunteering to work in stores stocking shelves, greeting, etc. Essentially, they need extra hands but don't want to pay for the labor. No holidays - want Thanksgiving off? Better put in your PTO!! Sure we have "unlimited" PTO but when half or more of your does not celebrate American holidays it can feel uncomfortable to ask for several days off when others on your team are working during the holidays. Not competitive salary-wise. Lots of management, very limited software and ux resources. When a team member leaves Walmart, don't expect a backfill for that roll for at least 8 month, or ever. We have had openings for some positions on my team for over a year.

Pros

Work-life balance is good in most teams. 9 to 5 is doable, but if you have partners working in India, then you might need to have meetings in earlier mornings and late evenings. Culture is good. In the sense that if most people in your team have families, then it's common that people leave work at 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. to pick up kids.(and work at home after that)

Cons

Moving very slow. Not very tech-driven. Business has a lot to say and huge power. Company is going through restructuring frequently. Almost feel like two to three reorgs every year. The new CPO Daniel D seems only good at hosting fireside events than driving real AI innovations. Engineering and Product feel working in silo for AI innovation. A lot of PMs feel not clear about their scopes under the ask that everyone should be a global PM covering US, international, and Sams club. No idea how you can have one PM cover three regions when you have three different sets of engineering team and business team, and the business conditions are so different. Leadership expects individuals to figure out for themselves. Engineering competency is a big concern, especially for AI-related work Not recommending joining now because of the layoffs, reorgs, and chaos.
