Pros
It is a big company. If you require Visa sponsorship, it will get approved easily.
Cons
I have been with this company for more than 2 years now. I work with the membership/marketing team of Sams club. When I joined I was relatively less experienced and settled with this job since I had limited options. This company has no values and no work culture. Disrespectful behavior is common and you might get shout by senior engineers on daily basis for absolutely no reason. Engineers are not qualified and do not have basic skills. Senior engineers ask things like teach us Java and if you refer them to some tutorial they don't like it. Also, among this, it is important to maintain a good relationship with senior engineers. However disrespectful or poor they are at there job, leadership will not take any actions against them. They will get credit for all your good work. Most of the design sessions become an insulting game, where everybody is just looking to insult each other. The team has a culture of bullying, harassment, and take advantage of people who are new and not part of their tribe. All things I have said in this Paragraph have happened to me and that in front of leadership. I am talking about people at director levels. Management (Especially at the director level) has no background in tech and completely clueless about Software development. Last year they brought two tech folks to the leadership role. Tech leads can't do basic software design, lack basic programming skills ( forget about DS& Algo). You will never get the credit for the good work you are doing. Team culture is toxic. You are dealing with a tribe (This tribe is made of South Indian people. They are heavily racist) who is just there to get the work out of you. There is continuous pressure to work on weekends and if you don't then you are not showing responsibility. Basically your skill level doesn't matter, your personal relationship has high importance, also how well you fit into the Toxic culture of this tribe. It is also important that your skills are poor. People actually do not want strong engineers to grow here since everybody in the team is weak. I have seen people outside of my team also who are surprisingly unprofessional. Insult there own teammates or get into shouting games with each other. My experience is mostly within the same club but has worked with sufficient teams in Walmart. I am comfortable to say that most of the teams in Walmart are like this. If you are wondering, why I just don't switch the job. My H1B got picked up this year, it was my last attempt. I also tried to switch the job last year and cleared technical rounds of some reputed tech companies. They wouldn't continue with me since this was my last attempt for H1B. Hopefully, by the end of this year, I will be able to switch and get a job I like.
