Pros

They make you feel like they take care of you. Documentation is one of the best if you compare it against other companies, processes are properly described and they don't micromanage.

Cons

I personally saw some layoffs, so being a FTE or a contractor doesn't give you job security. PR reviews take forever to complete and if you're a contractor, it just looks bad on you, even tho there's nothing else you can do, other than telling the FTE to help you with reviews. Tasks are not documented, your tasks for the sprint is a single sentence, without any context whatsoever, making it hard to do reverse engineering and understand what they want from you. (This is not the first time I work for Walmart, so I know it can vary between teams)

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.
