Life at Walmart - Consultant Walmart Global Tech Employee Review

Great team to be a part of

Leadership didn’t know what they were doing at times

- 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
