Learn A Ton, Losing Bonuses
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Bruno, California, United States
March 7, 2018
Pros: 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.

Free Treats, Terrible Office
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Bruno, California, United States
November 13, 2017
Pros: 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.
