Pros

Reasonable pay and work environment

Cons

1) Company is super political. Expect some people to be catty, some people to be territorial, and be prepared to be mentally tough. Don't let management fool you into thinking that people are easygoing - they're not. Full of Jerks in the management, if you are not playing their games, you will be forced out. 2) The workload is huge. Burned-out is inevitable and no one cares. 3) Promotions are predictable due to being based on favoritism and nepotism, which put non-experienced, non-human jerks in management team, a joke for an established company. 4) Lack of diversity, especially at WalmartLabs. Group thinking and covering-up for being unproductive. "Respect each other" is not part of culture now. 5) Preferential hire put a lot of unqualified people on their positions.
