The largest retailer in the world. Huge opportunity to capture greater share of eCommerce. Lots of really smart people. Real work/life balance. Recent changes in compensation make company competitive in Silicon Valley Real interest in Diversity (women, lgbt, cultural) Neil Ashe has great ideas and is inspiring.

Cons

Teams can be very territorial and tribal Engineering trying to run agile with the resources for waterfall. Lack of clear guidance on direction in technology orgs. Enough resources to keep up but not innovate

It was good until 2011

Pros

Culture until 2011 was really great! There were more openess in terms of business and good real freedom for employees to express concerns. The bonus structure was really good. Work life balance was good. All of the above are only until the shift that happened in 2011.

Cons

Now the new management is trying to mix and bring in sub standard employees whom they worked in the past with double/multi fold promotions. This started spoiling the great culture we had. Politics started then. New management is not good at organizing or making progress in business. Current CTO and the new initiative VPs are not upto business growths. They seem to have lot of commercial element in what they do at work. Providing false agenda and manipulating the growth to their upper management in multi folds.
