Pros

I guess good work life balance, comp is somewhat ok

Cons

This place can hardly be called a tech company, outdated technologies, unstable infrastructures, very limited cloud resources, lack of expertise in its own cloud infra team, low efficient cross team communications. Managers tend to avoid making key decisions and are good at playing a long term doing-nothing game. Undocumented hiring criteria and poorly adopted annual review (now it's biannual) put a lot of people into unqualified positions. If you're looking for a place to grow as IC, don't waste your time here.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
