Vantaggi
Opportunity to work on products with massive scale and reach A few solid peers and pockets of talented teams doing their best. The brand name still holds weight on a resume.
Svantaggi
Leadership lacks depth. A lot of senior folks come off as inexperienced or overly political, came from a company (IYKYK) & ruined the Walmart culture. Decision-making feels top-heavy and disconnected from day-to-day realities. Trying too hard to mimic the culture without really understanding what made it work. Instead of ownership and clarity, you get chaos and micromanagement. Poor alignment and context switching. Priorities change constantly, and there’s no real communication to explain why. Focus on optics, not outcomes. There’s a lot of noise around visibility and "narratives" - but little actual progress. Low trust culture. Psychological safety is basically non-existent. It’s hard to have honest conversations without fear of it being held against you.
