Pros

Very solid foundation backed by the big Walmart. But the Walmart eCommerce division is small enough to enable us try new things in fast pace as other startups. Associates here are encouraged to adopt new technologies or invent new solutions if not found in the open source. Executives keep us informed with business status via monthly All Hands. Environment is considered work-life-balance as the organization expands to multiple locations where associates can choose to home base in nearby office location. Since we're growing and expanding very fast, there are plenty projects you can work on so as plenty opportunities available within the eCommerce division.

Cons

Sometime turf war got into way more often than trying to solve business problem as a whole. Not only is the original good idea stolen by other team who owns the turf, the ownership of a hot problem is often thrown between the fences which delays the resolution to our business user. Internal transfer between organizations could be difficult especially changing between two different VP organizations (turf war again rather treating talent as shared asset for the business).

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.
