Pros

The pay was okay but the town(bentonville) and some of the people were just a bunch of cutt throats from south asia.

Cons

H1B visa mill for low skilled workers. Company treats foreign workers better than citizens. You will be placed 2 levels below someone that is less competent so theres no reason to stay here and expect to move up the ladder like them. Company will force you to train offshore resources that make your life a living hell. They get treated better too because of their low cost, while you get treated bad because the offshore resources arent delivering on time and with quality. There are too many complacent managers/ directors/ vps that are disconnected from the workforce and they will make the worse decisions youve ever seen. Company doesnt care about their employees mental health. They will keep you away from family to live in the middle of nowhere. Incompetent people that want you to do their work even though they have a higher job title than you. A ton of project managers/ program managers (ive had 4 of them on one project and they are always asking noob questions and taking up valuable time) that arent adding any value. Their only purpose is to communicate to upper management about your work and your progress. If you are an American then be prepared to get treated unfairly. If you are an underrepresented minority then be prepared to experience systemic racism through people that strongly believe in a caste system.

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.
