Pros

- Flat hierarchy - Free snacks and friday free lunch - Nice buildings/facilities - Good learning experience for freshers/early career - Work-life balance

Cons

- Technically inferior to other major tech companies (esp its biggest rival Amazon) - Systems are poorly architected, but the company believes in throwing good money after bad in fixing these poor systems, rather than replacing them - Politics - some employees more interested in saving their face rather than making a contribution to the company - Some people in senior management (Director/VP level) are not in touch with ground realities. Some Product - Managers are incompetent and have no idea of where they want their product to go - The only technical stuff they do is data mining/big data. If you are looking to get Product related experience, this is not the place.

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.
