Pros

* Peaceful work environment compared to Walmart global tech * Better/cozy office space compared to Walmart global tech * Kind leadership in supply chain * Plenty of technology choices to work with as a developer * Lots of room to grow

Cons

* Benefits are not competitive for health plans. Many paychecks will go to medical bills or high premiums rather than insurance handling it or better deductibles * Permanent remote was never an option until covid and even then it will fade * Teams can suffer setbacks from project owners who lack strong agile mindsets and experience * Teams can suffer setbacks if remote teams don't work more closely on given projects (UX and other teams are separate orgs.)

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
