Pros

1. Good Benefits 2. Good collogues, freshers hired from reputed colleges 3. Good food and commute

1. Loads of politics b/w IDC and US. No coordination 2. No stress on improving the architecture of systems which are failing miserably 3. Tech stack which suits only walmart. No stress to use state of art tech 4. Management is terrible. they instill a load of bad strategy and politics into employee minds 5. Folks who are working will have to work 24/7 and those who dont are not bothered much. Both get the same hike and pay which is highly demotivating 6. Overall the work environment works on sycophancy

Culture is taking a nose-dive

Area manager

Pros

- Manager pay is good if you're hired externally (not promoted from within) - Work for the hourly associates is very easy in our sortable building, so you don't really get any pushback from them not wanting to do the job.

Cons

It's been invaded by Amazon and they don't know how to do anything unless they've already done it at Amazon. They're very closed off to any new ideas unless they did it there. A few of the things they've brought have been positive, but the culture is taking a severe beating. There is no transparency and it's every man for themselves. You don't get feedback. It's almost like they enjoy surprising you with performance ratings. They've given eval ratings on a curve the last couple of years. You cannot have your own opinion if it differs from theirs. Associate morale is in the toilet.
