Pros

lots of opportunities decent benefits/compensation very nice colleagues new building in Sunnyvale is top of line office buildings In order to success in this company you have to meet certain traits,

Cons

despite its IT department, the company applied some harsh policy from store to engineers as well, etc, only get employee discount benefits after 3 months, can only get certain some cheap insurance the same of the store employees, can only have 6 legal holidays per year. the reward system is not about your talent or how much you can achieve but how much you are flattering your superiors, and the talkers got the most rewards. the company culture is dominated by certain group of people with certain foreign culture, whoever are not part of that group inborn will be alienated and treated unfairly. I have heard other colleagues complaining difficult to get promoted here, that is only because you meet one of the following condition 1) your boss is in that certain group while you are not 2) you are not flattering hard enough 3) you are working too hard that jeopardize your boss' limited managing ability 4) you know too much and has certain eagle or ambition inside of you and if you got 2 of 4, you should not count your bonus to be a good or even getting ready to be fired. the managers only care about immediate interests, making judgement based on benefits of themselves. the managers has no sense of righteousness or integrity, I have seen many cases that they encroached x-employees' IPs, how do they sleep well stealing other people's work like that.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
