Walmartlabs management does not care about employees

Various tech roles

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- with all the acquisitions, Walmart is showing interest in going to the next level - interesting new work in future - more focus on technology

Cons

- management clearly does not care about employees and it's been very clear with the policies they have been coming up with. Like moving to flex pto model but No cash out of the existing pto. Technically you lose all pto hours you have accrued/earned so far. - poor work life balance - management keeps starting high profile initiatives and kill it half way through the development - major waste of time and money

Walmart Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m glad you’re enjoying the latest advances in technology and innovation at Walmart Labs. Yet, disappointed to hear you're not feeling valued by the organization. We value all our associates, their feedback, and want them to be happy in our organization. We're moving fast as an organization – and sometimes when you move fast, you make mistakes, such as the mistake we made regarding the PTO payout. After hearing our associates' feedback, we quickly changed the policy. Now, all associates moving to the flex PTO model will get their PTO balance cashed out after the fiscal year. I want to assure you that your feedback and concerns are being heard. We couldn’t be the successful organization we are without our associates. - Bobbie G., VP Human Resources, Walmart Labs

Great company with amazing community involvement. Ability to do just about any job in the world, without ever leaving the company.

Pros

*Some really great people work there *Diversity *Corporate philosophy sounds good on paper *Big budgets *Nice cafeteria and snacks *Easy to keep track of the (sales) seasons

Cons

*Image is everything. *Mid-level managers are in a dog-fight for their survival, so everything is a competition. *Job title inflation is rampant (this might be a "Pro") *It's not what you know, it's who you know *If you have a bad manager, you are completely at their whim. Upper management is too busy with their own survival. HR is too busy protecting the corporation. *Financial tools are standard, out of the box, and therefore useless. *Customization is not allowed by Corporate, creating crushing manual workload * Upper managers call meetings at 7pm on Fridays to the detriment of everyone else's work-life balance *7 Holidays a year. No 401K option for the first year. Ridiculously high insurance out-of-pocket levels. *Toxic environment
