Pluspunten

Work life balance Good pay Work on latest technologies Ability to change teams, if bored/dissatisfied Few good folks

Minpunten

Bureaucratic, political environment Insecure management, no clue about what's going on Quite a few mediocre folks around, but too many in management What's with some folks having extremely poor communication skills? Please don't hire folks who have contracting history as FTE. A lot of folks who are here for too long(you'll find many) tend to be bad. I think they are stuck here mostly because they can't find opportunities outside, and even if they do, they pay is lower than here. Sometimes the whole family barring their child(as they are not in work age yet) work here. Since they take home a significant pay home that way, they think they are very secure and really don't put much effort in work. They tend to be worse, are nasty to work with. They just don't give a damn about anything and play survival + rotating b/w teams game. Firing such folks even if you know they don't produce quality work is just hard. The more friends and relatives you have working here, the more rooted you are and hard to uproot. Usually acquihires are given good bonus+huge bump up in designation & responsibilities that they think are masters of universe and too smart, but they aren't. If you look them up, their career is just a joke.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
