Pros
solid, stable, recession proof business deeply rooted in american culture and responsible for sustaining the lives and survival of 50 million+. ///////////////laser focused on competition with amazon ///////////////leetcode is generally not a requirement to join walmart ///////////////people from the south are generally very pleasant ///////////////RSU, now vesting quarterly and distributed in a manner that encourages long term employment at the company, as opposed to forced attrition at amazon ///////////////401k with 100% match on 6% of your income. companies that do match usually give 50% match on 6%. ///////////////cash bonus of 20% at for my role/level, but is only given yearly. this is 401k matched too, so additional can be earned from it. ////////////////money talks here, no frills. EDLP. ////////////////when you tell people you work for walmart, they immediately think you are poor and i appreciate that effect. but total compensation for me is ~$260k this year and expecting $275k next year. ////////////////big tech may pay another $100k on that, but walmart did not have mass layoffs of tech workers and their stock did not crash

2,000,000 people ///////////really bad unavoidable politics ///////////stringent change management and security protocols ///////////rampant loopholes in change management and security protocols as a result of it being too strict ///////////difficulty communicating or collaborating with other teams at walmart ///////////slow pace, many blockers
