Pros: High compensation: Salaries and bonuses are very competitive, especially for senior-level technical roles. Strong engineering talent: Many smart and capable engineers to learn from and collaborate with. Modern tech stack: Exposure to cutting-edge technologies, tools, and large-scale distributed systems. Support for innovation: Encouraged to experiment and propose new solutions in areas like InfoSec, DevOps, and infrastructure.

Cons: Opaque HR and compliance processes: In my experience, terminations related to alleged policy violations can occur without clear communication, documentation, or prior warnings. I was fired for doing something I did for almost the past 10 years and never received any warning. Open-door process offers limited recourse: While Walmart promotes an open-door policy, in practice it can feel perfunctory. Concerns about terminations are often met with a reiteration that policy was violated, without meaningful discussion, explanation, or corrective options. Digital Citizenship training not clearly enforced: Policies cited in termination were not well-aligned with the training provided, creating ambiguity around expectations. Limited recourse post-termination: Difficulty obtaining documentation or recourse through official channels after being let go. Risk of being blindsided: Even high-performing employees can be terminated suddenly without formal performance issues, which may create a culture of uncertainty.

Pros: Decent compensation, work-life balance, and a good team.

Cons: Lots of politics and reviews.

Pros: Fixed working hours Nice people

Cons: Too big Not enough focus
