Pros

It's great experience to work and collaborate in big cross functional teams

Cons

The beauracracy is terrible. They appreciate mediocracy rather than innovative just damn good. People are actually offended by work that exceeds expectations. It is very hard to move up and get promotions, it's not clear, even with the new career roadmap against how people get their annual reviews.

Pros

It's a must war for walmart for better or for worse, so Walmart is pouring lots of cash into eCommerce. Better than industry bonus structure and guaranteed annual stock award are good.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. People talk the talk but don't walk the walk, and then take all the credits. Management doesn't know what's going on when it comes to engineering. IT IS NOT A TECHNICAL COMPANY. If you are an engineer and like to learn from your peer, this might not be the company for you. However, if you want a stable job instead of going after those insane unicorns, this is a safe place to collect paychecks.

Pros

Good pay Most developers are very dedicated

Cons

AVOID customer promise team. Sr Management brings in directors with absolutely no relevant experience and has no business of being here. After 10 months of managing the team, she is still getting call center acronyms and terminologies wrong on powerpoint slides for call center management team. To make matters worse, the new director brought in all her former colleagues without web based/retail experience and created more problems for existing developers. Management has no understanding of the products and has no regards to how broken the products are. The only goal they have is kissing up to upper management and making upper management happy.There is a problem when directors from other teams are fed up with her. Trying to run the team as dictatorship when it's very obvious that no one on the team believes in her vision and direction. No diversity and no advancement.
