Pros

Free food and Cab Mac book Year End Gift Good Compensation

Cons

This is not a product company. Culture is service based. Every day late night call and support. There is no work during working hour, rather there is support and meeting in non working hour. Designation is engineer, but after working 6 months feel like labour.

Pros

The company policies are really good. They compensate the associates quite well. Reimbursements for travelling, phone, WiFi etc are given. The working hours are quite flexible and completely varies from team to team. The food is simply awesome.

Cons

You can't change your team within 18 months of joining the company. The teams are also assigned randomly. The work is not really the best and most of the people who have experience in working in Walmart are mediocre at best. Their yearly reviews are a joke and a strict policy of enforced bell curve is followed. So, you will see people not at all working getting higher ratings than those who are doing really good job, all in accordance with the team. The hiring is on an insane level and the company is really over crowded. It's really difficult to shine in such a large crowd.

Thank you for the effort of writing this detailed review. We are sorry to hear your experience has been less than optimal as an associate. We are constantly striving to improve our processes so that they are appropriate and fair. Growth is a need of the hour for our business and our goal is to maintain our high bar as we continue along this trajectory. While the increasing number of associates on the floor can be a little startling, it also provides everyone with increased number of opportunities to grow in their career as well. In addition to multiple training opportunities, Walmart associates are strongly encouraged to upskill themselves through the numerous online trainings available to them. Be sure to bring your concerns to your manager and have them addressed. All the best for a wonderful career ahead.
