Pros
NW Arkansas is a nice area to live in.
Cons
Not a great place to work if you want to write code. Most of Walmart's software development is "remote sourced" to contractors in India. Walmart programmers mostly review code the contractors have written then at times have to fix it because the quality is poor. The company lacks any real direction in ISD. They change constantly but use outdated hardware, software and tools. The EDLC cost model is outdated and stale. Non of the systems in stores work right due to the constant drive to lower costs. The pay is at least 10% below what other companies pay for in house IT talent. The benefits are awful. The health insurance is a joke.
