Pros

1) Stable pay and relaxed culture 2) Good amenities 3) Mixture of retail and technical leadership 4) Some nice human fellows 5) Brand name

Cons

- 10 percent intern to full-time conversion rate at a time when companies are striving to convert 75 percent of interns to full-time - So much politics. Managers will bring any number of people in but wont even think about hiring entry level talent. I was blatantly told no positions in the team and saw two people from India come in randomly. 3) Worst recruiters ever. Will pick any random person to interview. 4) Silos. Most of the team arent aware other teams exist. They have acquired companies just for resources. 5) Constant reorganisation. Teams in Arkansas and Sunnyvale cant mix

Pros

Competitive compensation, many technically strong developers, decent projects, good software development opportunities. Good ping pong. Nice (but not free) lunch. Friendly people.

Cons

Lots of turnover. Too many reorgs. Too many restructurings. Layoffs. Tech redirections. Over engineering. Political battles. Strange behavior. Big company woes. Hierarchical and top heavy.

Pros

if you enjoy living paycheck to paycheck with almost no chance for advancement and minimal pay and no respect from your bosses, then a Walmart career is in your future, but not mine. Sorry. If the truth is not spoken,then what is the point of communication.

Cons

See above protracted remarks based upon actual experience.
