Pros

Competitive salary, 401k matching, nice equity package for senior folks.

Cons

Management, technology, bureaucracy, culture, lack of innovation or vision, boiler-room politics. Reviews are handed out as patronage. Some teams have more project managers than developers. Results and/or achievement are not respected or encouraged. Managers only care about their head-count. They will do anything to increase it. Results and innovation are totally unrelated to all incentive structures. You come here to let your technical chops wither and die in exchange for a decent paycheck.

Pros

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

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.
