Pros

Remote-ish job, Decent pay because big company

Cons

-- You will be sandbagged every single day by non-english speaking "engineers" lying to higher-ups that they don't want to work with you for no reason whatsoever, starting on day 1 you will be forced to work with people who will drag their feet the entire time in an effort to make you look bag. -- Those same engineers lying to you in meetings and refusing to help you will tell you to "read docs" all day and never directly help you, ever. -- You will constantly have complaints written about you for not getting work done even though your mentors have never onboarded you properly or even helped you get started. -- You will constantly be sabotaged unless you are an Indian or Eastern-European and your first language is not English. -- You will constantly be blamed for your team's failures if you are new, even though you are never helped in any capacity. -- I was given the wrong computer for 2 weeks straight and when they finally mailed me a working Mac it was stuttering the entire time. Almost on purpose, like they wanted to sabotage my employment chances on purpose. -- You will be told to go read docs all day, but the docs are incomplete and written by people that don't speak english. -- When you ask and beg for help the engineers will schedule meetings multiple days later and barely know what they're talking about and act oblivious and just ask if you read the docs that the non-english speaking peoples wrote. -- Entire Software system/process is full-blown TDD and managed by non-english speaking Indians and Eastern-Europeans. -- Tons of non-english speaking "engineers" that call meetings every day to figure things out instead of having a quick teams message or email. -- All of upper-management/higher-ups are constantly lied to and played by all the foreign engineers writing piss-poor code and test-cases all day. -- WalMart is burning multiple millions of dollars hiring engineers to write code that never contributes to production.

Pros

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.
