Awesome Culture - Team Lead Walmart Global Tech Employee Review

WLB is pretty good, can’t complain about the pay either. Interesting work as well

Nothing specific to Walmart, cons apply to all companies like political stuff

- Great individual engineers - New campus is beautiful - A lot of internal knowledge and tools - Offers Coursera courses for learning - The 10% discount card is nice

- Work-life balance is quite bad, with many teams requiring pager rotations and managers pinging after-hours - Upper management is a carousel of people putting in their two years of experience before moving to another company for a fat signing bonus - Lower management pushes you to use AI for 1/3+ of your work to suck as much "productivity" out of you as possible - There's really no Walmart culture. Over my tenure I saw upper management claim we would remember Mr Sam and never become Amazon, and ten years later we were being run by ex-Amazon VPs and directors. - Layoff waves are swift and without mercy - Shutdown many of their diversity programs and rarely put out company-wide messages with any sort of spine
