Pros

Good food, Good office, Good work but local management is too political.

Cons

Inequality and cultural discrimination in Bangalore Walmart Labs office especially by the Karnatak groups. They only try to hire their own people and people from other states are discriminated and treated with inequality. Even the Sr Project Managers who interview candidates never allow outsiders to join their team and most of time they reject their interviews knowingly.

Pros

* Flexible working hours * Good employee benefits in terms of Medical insurance, Free food, Free transportation , Quarterly team outing (Company pays 5k+ INR per person , but again this depends on your manager, if s/he is adamant to go outing, your money will go in vain), Udemy premium account for learning purpose , cultural events, last but not the least a top brand

Cons

Recruiters think that they are the king of the world. (dhidha is a hint , if you are an employee of Walmart, you would understand whom I am referring) The worst thing you will experience is that "you will get a bigger surprise on the joining day as they would put in a different team than the team for which you were hired". If you do a survey on this, why people at Walmart leave in 1-1.5 years, many employees would come up with the above reason. They have degraded their standard of hiring process. Few years back, they used to hire only from tier-1 colleges, now it has become like anyone with Java tech stack can be part of Walmart. Okay, it's a good thing that you are giving a good opportunity to everyone. But, have some plans for the people whom you hire. Coming to the point which would signify the review title, I was part of a team which had two sets of leaders, IDC & US. My team was an experimental team to experiment a new model of working. And this idea had come from US leaders. IDC leaders were so mean towards this , they were not ready to accept this team's existence. In a nutshell, US leaders were trying so hard to succeed and IDC leaders were trying so hard to fail this model. Just to disrupt the balance in the team, IDC leader says these kind of statements in team meeting that we don't have a budget for these many members. To my surprise, when I resigned , IDC leaders says that I took a right decision. Anyways, this team is going to be dissolved. Politics happen almost at all the organizations, but here it crossed every limits. In a nutshell, I would say Walmart sucks.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Cafeteria Grocery store and food options across the street

Cons

None of the tools work for the fashion department so you’re just constantly opening tickets and trying to fix things that can’t be fixed. You’re responsible for sales but, since none of the tools actually work, it’s really hard to keep anything on the site and shoppable. You won’t really get to do any strategy work. You’re job is to do all of the grunt work.
