Pros

The pay was okay but the town(bentonville) and some of the people were just a bunch of cutt throats from south asia.

Cons

H1B visa mill for low skilled workers. Company treats foreign workers better than citizens. You will be placed 2 levels below someone that is less competent so theres no reason to stay here and expect to move up the ladder like them. Company will force you to train offshore resources that make your life a living hell. They get treated better too because of their low cost, while you get treated bad because the offshore resources arent delivering on time and with quality. There are too many complacent managers/ directors/ vps that are disconnected from the workforce and they will make the worse decisions youve ever seen. Company doesnt care about their employees mental health. They will keep you away from family to live in the middle of nowhere. Incompetent people that want you to do their work even though they have a higher job title than you. A ton of project managers/ program managers (ive had 4 of them on one project and they are always asking noob questions and taking up valuable time) that arent adding any value. Their only purpose is to communicate to upper management about your work and your progress. If you are an American then be prepared to get treated unfairly. If you are an underrepresented minority then be prepared to experience systemic racism through people that strongly believe in a caste system.

Pros

Employee benefits, good pay for a few employees though CTC disparaty

Cons

It's an endless list. Managers are clueless about the roadmap. Extremely blame culture. People are observing you to find that one mistake or blame you for a mistake you haven't even done to give you a 2/5 rating and cut your annual bonus. Huge part of CTC is annual bonus which you won't get. Toxic managers doing favouritism and pulling others down. No mentorship. People working great silently aren't even observed and given bad appraisals. People sending junk emails and blabbering in meetings without any idea are the celebrated employees. HATE YOU WALMART FOREVER !!

Pros

1) Benefits 2) Health Insurance for Family 3) Some teams have cutting edge technologies to work on. Atleast I was part of such team 4) Intelligent Peers

Cons

1) Toooooo much political 2) Product and Technical managres are not in sync ever 3) If you are not in good terms with your manager, you are gone. Either you leave the company or they will make you leave. 4) They ask for "anonymous" feedback. If you have given bad review for your manager and manager got to know (or He/ She thinks that you are the culprit), you are totally screwed. Manager will make sure, you get minimum varriable pay out and no hike and also will force you to resign. Attrition rate is very high. 5) Managers are just puppet of senior management.
