Pros

Very good base salary and overall compensation package in the Bay Area.

Cons

The company enforces an average employment length of 2 years, so one cannot avail all the initial negotiated compensation package.

There was an incompetent e-commerce division in the Bay Area that lost to Jet.com.

There was a power struggle between HQ in Bentonville and the Bay Area.

They are struggling hard to fit in the Bay Area.

They introduced the OKR process but failed miserably in implementation details.

Most are staying because of their own reasons, like H1B visas and lengthy Green Card processing.

Women are struggling the most, with hardly any promotions and any career growth training.

Advice to Management

Talent comes in any form and in any color.
