Walmart Work Experiences
- 1.0Slow Progress, Too Many ProcessesSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Bruno, California, United StatesFebruary 16, 2022Pros: Not sure if there are any.Cons: It just takes a long time to get anything done. Too many processes.
- 2.0Learn A Ton, Losing BonusesSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Bruno, California, United StatesMarch 7, 2018Pros: Smart people, latest technology. I've worked here many years, and Walmart really invests the time and money to stay current. You will learn a ton if you work here.Cons: Benefits changed this year to a mandatory curve. There's a very real chance that even if you perform well and meet your goals, you may not receive your bonus or RSUs. The targets you must meet are not defined and mainly have to do with extra credit, popularity, or Indian nepotism. So, only work here if you have negotiated a good base salary upfront.
- 2.0Free Treats, Terrible OfficeSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Bruno, California, United StatesNovember 13, 2017Pros: Free candy, soda, and work from home on Fridays.Cons: Work all the time, and deadlines are tight. People often work weekends. If you can, work at the San Bruno office. Sunnyvale has no parking, few desks, and a terrible smell. It literally smells terrible there 24/7.
