Walmart has been a great place to work, especially for gaining exposure to large-scale systems and cross-functional collaboration. The work is impactful, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn from talented teammates and take ownership of meaningful projects.
Leadership is generally supportive, and the company encourages continuous learning and career growth. The scale of the problems you get to work on helps build strong technical and business understanding.
Cons
Like any large organization, processes can sometimes take time, but overall it’s a rewarding environment with good work-life balance, competitive benefits, and strong career development opportunities.

Thank you for sharing this positive review. We appreciate and thank you.
Work-life balance is good in most teams. 9 to 5 is doable, but if you have partners working in India, then you might need to have meetings in earlier mornings and late evenings.
Culture is good. In the sense that if most people in your team have families, then it's common that people leave work at 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. to pick up kids.(and work at home after that)
Cons
Moving very slow. Not very tech-driven. Business has a lot to say and huge power.
Company is going through restructuring frequently. Almost feel like two to three reorgs every year. The new CPO Daniel D seems only good at hosting fireside events than driving real AI innovations. Engineering and Product feel working in silo for AI innovation. A lot of PMs feel not clear about their scopes under the ask that everyone should be a global PM covering US, international, and Sams club. No idea how you can have one PM cover three regions when you have three different sets of engineering team and business team, and the business conditions are so different. Leadership expects individuals to figure out for themselves.
Engineering competency is a big concern, especially for AI-related work
Not recommending joining now because of the layoffs, reorgs, and chaos.
