Pros

They are trying hard to catch up to Amazon, but never will. Brand for @WalmartLabs attracts tech talent, but they leave after being sold false story. Growing, but due to high attrition and low retention cubes are endlessly rotating or empty. Big giant company on your resume, but awful brand and lack of marketability when you leave Hope: new CEO Sunnyvale office, but good luck getting a seat there as it is only for engineers or special people

Cons

Politics: worse than any other company and worse than they paint it to be Management is built of ex eBay, Yahoo, Amazon and Walmart corp people who are building teams of robots like them. Not working. Promotions are based on who you know not your great work or great ideas. Reviews and ratings are a joke and leaders have to be forced by HR to actually do them and forced with 10 reminders to set goals. Poor HR team overall. Transactional at best. Corporate rains on your ideas and your parade when you accomplish something. Corporate has antiquated ways and "this is the way we've always done it" mentality. They promote diversity and have ARGs but ultimately no leadership support, budget or commitment to actually accomplish change. They hire tons of white men, hardly any women and when women leaders are hired, they don't promote from within but open roles that internals don't even get the chance to interview for or trial. Not going anywhere until corp releases reigns and lets them actually operate like a start up. Its a rumor mill with a bunch of high school students running around leading teams, HR and the business. Competency based hiring would help.
