Pros

It might be a good place for beginner software engineers, sale managers and other professions. Since it is located in Bentonville, AR it is very cheap to live.

Cons

1. Very extremely disorganized management. Lots of managers and team leaders do not know what they are actually doing. 2. Poor collaboration between engineers and managers. They may change their minds in the last minute. When you ask something from any engineers or managers, they delegate you to another manager who delegates to another..sequence you will be delegated to 20 people until you find the solution by yourself. 3. The top management, I mean, those who really cares about the company, its growth and prosperity, do not know what is really happening behind scene. Who is being hired and fired for no reason. There is not an evaluation system for who is really benefitting the company, or who is just wasting company resources. 4. Specially, if you are contractors I would not recommend any Walmart Inc offices. Because they may cut you and fire you in one day without any further notice. Specially, you have family with you, it might give you hard time and make you struggle. 5. Pay rate is really low for Software engineers compared to other companies.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
