Pros

*Great work life balance *Competitive compensation

Cons

*Lack of culture. No holiday party at the end of year. Instead, a holiday lunch was hold at one of the conference room with food taste like panda express. *Stingy all the time. For example, a baseball game outing was hosted at AT&T park, which was nice, but no shuttle was arranged. * Lack of parking. Only 70% of full time employees could get parking permits at Sunnyvale office and the permits were distributed based on how long you've worked at WalmartLabs. For others, figure it out by yourself. New hires, contractors and people commute to San Bruno office are asked to park on street(very limited space) or a public parking lot with 20mins walking distance. *Food is not subsidized. Food in cafeteria is terrible, edible though. *Less holiday compared to other companies. We need to work on Martin Luther King's day and President's day while others are on vacation. Let alone thanksgiving which did not offer an extra day off. * Lack of communication. Many people do not know what they are doing for work. * People are not passionate about their work. * Policy is not transparent. 200 people (almost 10%) are laid off recently without telling everyone the decision criteria.

Pros

It's a place to kill time while you look for your next job. People are mostly friendly but you have to be on your guard.

Cons

Very cheap. No free food or snacks. Pay rate is low. Place is full of H1Bs who are stuck there like slaves. Politics everywhere. Have to always be on your guard. Too many layers of management that don't do anything. Constant re-orgs. Tiny cubes and no privacy. Cult-like. Meetings galore.
