Pros
  • Walmart Labs works with top technology. It's a great place to learn these technologies if you are motivated.
  • There are some very good teams with nice and talented people.
Cons
  • Most startup-acquired employees are given bloated titles that don't relate to their experience or talent.
  • They don't add much value and complain about how much they miss the startup life, which reduces the morale of the whole team.
  • Once they cash their retention package, they leave.
  • Health insurance is terrible.
Advice to Management
  1. Align.
  2. Learn where your talent is. Not always the loudest one is the most talented.
  3. Evaluate the downsides of acquiring mediocre startups.
