Pros

Compensation and Employee Benefits. Free food and cab.

Cons

No respect for employees. Worst Managers - they do not know the roadmap, efforts & plan. Simply pressurize us to get the work done. No work life balance. They will deploy in any role or skills which is completely irrelevant to us and ask us to work. Lot of politics. In India, mostly maintenance and support projects hence they will ask us to work at any timings. Not organized environment. Top level management and HR have no clue on Company growth plan. If you are lucky will get right projects else life at Walmart India will be miserable. Developers will be forced to do any task which is irrelevant to the skills. Many developers leave the company before their first six months.

Pros

High salary in the bay area, stock, work from home now widely accepted and post covid wont change that

Cons

bad leadership - projects with arbitrary deadlines - project managers who dont know anything about the project yet are pushy and overbearing about dates/timelines. Product managers who are quick to just escalate things to managers and senior leaders when things dont go their way immediately. product managers who dont work collaboratively with other product managers and will do anything to get their roadmaps prioritized. poor company culture. lack of diversity in the tech side (all Indian, and White is not diversity) They over work their engineers. Leadership doesnt support people on their teams and its easy to get stuck with bad managers with no escape. Ecommerce is a money suck. A lot of your job will be fixing broken technology that was hacked together. Constant re-orgs and changes in teams to the point where you dont even pay attention anymore. No one can speak to the impact of what they are doing they just want it done because their leadership wants it done. People leave in mass every march because thats when bonuses and stock are paid out.

Pros

Workout classes, friends, mooching off of google shuttles (much nicer than the Walmart ones). Take this job if you

Cons

- Low pay, but expected to work at night - Senior leadership has no idea what they're doing and changes initiatives and priorities on a whim. - Critical supporting positions get eliminated on a regular basis - forcing Category Specialists to take on their roles - Morale is non-existent in most teams - no one has a clear sense of what they're doing or how they're being measured - Majority of the work is menial and repetitive - No room for growth internally
