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.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
