Pros

Good work life balance sometimes, Scale of Data, Challenging problems to solve in some teams

Cons

politics.. US teams generally do all the good work. Scale of the data is huge but the infrastructure is horrible. It takes ages to run simple MR jobs. Lack of good platform. No effort to retain good employees. They are interested in hiring new folks with lesser talent. There is no guarantee that you will get your variable component especially at higher levels

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.
