Pros

Walmart has acquired a great number of talented people, and has a clear focus on where they want the business to go.

Cons

Walmart has acquired a great number of talented people, but is hindered by how fast they can go by the legacy overhead of being the largest company in the world. It can be really frustrating for people who like to get stuff done.

Pros

Great pay, but this is because you are supposed to put close to 80 hours a week to get anywhere. If you want work life balance, be prepared for not getting promoted or visible. Sure they are a family company and understand that kids need to be picked up, but it is at the expense of your career.

Cons

80 hours/week is expected. Also, they throw people at their tools and processes and pay well because nothing is working (finance) and you are supposed to put together a bunch of manual reporting, fudge with data to get it right, etc. At the same time they are not really investing in tool upgrade unless it is company wide. I would have expected company of this size, especially ecommerce division to be a bit better prepared to handle data.
