Walmart Work Experiences
- 4.0Relaxing Work, Boring TechSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesJune 8, 2017Pros: Good pay. Relaxing environment to work in.Cons: It's mostly uninteresting technology being used.
- 2.0Took a turn for the worse the last few monthsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesJanuary 4, 2017Pros: Good teammates, projects, and pay structure.Cons: - NO PARKING ON CAMPUS!! They expect employees to find public/street parking nearby and walk almost a mile to reach work. The way we found out was by parking tickets; no internal communication was provided about the new rules. What kind of workplace is that? - DELIBERATE DELAY IN INTERNAL GREEN CARD application process by immigration team. Every little thing (wage determination, ETA filing, etc.) takes almost triple the time it used to take a year ago. - ANNOUNCING REMOVAL OF INTERNAL FEEDBACK FORUM with very little notice. Multiple people have expressed support against the removal, as no alternate channel was provided. - A few other cons include: * No 401k match/orthodontic coverage in the first year. * Sub-standard free Friday lunch. * Only 6 holidays per year (only 5 since most work on Thanksgiving). * Horrible middle management.
