Pros
Working with some dope technology (electrode) I also work with some really smart people JK is definitely moving the company in the right direction. I can’t believe some of the stories I hear from the Bentonville people what they used to have to deal with. New bonus incentive means I can get a 35% bonus for my annual bonus Even though Walmart is a huge company, generally you work on smaller projects so it’s nice in that regard. Bentonville is actually a really nice place
Cons
I work with some absolute morons. Idk if it’s because of the location, I’ve heard it is harder for WM to attract the best talent to Bentonville so maybe that’s why. Don’t be fooled in recruiting. Unless a recruiter specifically tells you something and it’s written down, don’t trust anyone. I had two alumni from my college who straight up lied to me in the recruiting process. Not sure where else to go if I leave Walmart in NWA. People will say there are companies, but you can’t be that picky about it. The interview process was too easy. I came in as an entry level programmer and had to work with a programmer analyst on a special project... but they had their masters so that’s why they are a PA. Turns out the person barely knows how to program...
