Pros

Solve some really challenging business problems. Good compensation. Especially RSUs. They have increased by more than 300% in the last 4 years.

Cons

Terrible and incompetent middle level management - Directors to VPs. You are supposed to manage and get in from other teams who have no stake in your deliverables. Leads to a lot of infighting and band-aids.

Pros

-More work than workers means you can rise quickly -Good pay for Bay Area -10% discount on Walmart.com stuff (except grocery) -Decent learning if you're entry-level

Cons

-Massive politics between Stores and Online - territorialism, shameless idea stealing, and constant upward management of c-suite results in lots juggling between VPs over projects -Stores slower growth, culture, and mature business bureaucracy hamper many ecomm initiatives (e.g. "some stores executives still don't think this 'ecommerce thing' is real") -No free food except fruit and coffee -
