Pros
* Flexible working hours * Good employee benefits in terms of Medical insurance, Free food, Free transportation , Quarterly team outing (Company pays 5k+ INR per person , but again this depends on your manager, if s/he is adamant to go outing, your money will go in vain), Udemy premium account for learning purpose , cultural events, last but not the least a top brand
Cons
Recruiters think that they are the king of the world. (dhidha is a hint , if you are an employee of Walmart, you would understand whom I am referring) The worst thing you will experience is that "you will get a bigger surprise on the joining day as they would put in a different team than the team for which you were hired". If you do a survey on this, why people at Walmart leave in 1-1.5 years, many employees would come up with the above reason. They have degraded their standard of hiring process. Few years back, they used to hire only from tier-1 colleges, now it has become like anyone with Java tech stack can be part of Walmart. Okay, it's a good thing that you are giving a good opportunity to everyone. But, have some plans for the people whom you hire. Coming to the point which would signify the review title, I was part of a team which had two sets of leaders, IDC & US. My team was an experimental team to experiment a new model of working. And this idea had come from US leaders. IDC leaders were so mean towards this , they were not ready to accept this team's existence. In a nutshell, US leaders were trying so hard to succeed and IDC leaders were trying so hard to fail this model. Just to disrupt the balance in the team, IDC leader says these kind of statements in team meeting that we don't have a budget for these many members. To my surprise, when I resigned , IDC leaders says that I took a right decision. Anyways, this team is going to be dissolved. Politics happen almost at all the organizations, but here it crossed every limits. In a nutshell, I would say Walmart sucks.
