Thank you for your valuable feedback. It is certainly of great concern. WalmartLabs as an organization aims to keep a strong technology focused growth for our associates in Bangalore. We are on a massive growth curve. As an organization, we are also very conscious on keeping intact a culture of respect and fairness. If you feel existing policies are not being implemented correctly and there is any amount of fairness or transparency missing in your team, I would encourage you to take this up with your HR partner with a data driven perspective on what is wrong and how it can be corrected. All the best for a great career ahead.

Pros

Tremendous variety in your day-to-day work, always something new to learn, opportunities to promote, genuinely good people working in these stores, and in my judgment the company is making good investments to remain relevant to customers for the future.

Cons

Culture and leadership styles are not at all consistent across the company (it's a big company). Out in the stores/clubs, the culture is set by the store manager and market manager. If you're getting into field management, make sure you get a true sense of the culture of that market and store. Getting into the wrong store or market could make your 18-24+ month tour miserable and could ultimately slow your upward mobility.

Pros

Emerging organisation and has quite a lot of big opportunities and could be pretty stable

Cons

Severe leadership crisis, different pillar has different working style, you got to be lucky to get a chance with right leader. In some pillar there are some visionaries (Akhil Vishwanatham), where you got to be lucky to be working in their team, and in some there are some difficult people, to an extent that you have to only work to make the managers happy than achieving the organizational objectives.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your recognition of leadership in the organization. Your observations otherwise are certainly a cause for concern. WalmartLabs in Bangalore is constantly striving to build a strong leadership brand in our organization - you will find different leaders have different operating styles. These different thought processes are what enrich an organization's IP and DNA. However, one common and uncompromising thread across all of them would be *strong integrity* in everything they practice. Please use the tools available to you to provide constructive 360 feedback wherever you find opportunities for us to get better. We wish you a wonderful career ahead with WalmartLabs.
