Pros

except free food & transport..No pros

Cons

First of all, Others reviews about Walmart GTS have been given by manager's flatterers. they write good review & show to managers. Managers themselves have no work to do in office, they are full free whole day & Be aware...and portray good images of lazy GTS employees to the Global management. but wrong thing cannot be hidden for too long in private sector..I bet, this GTS center will get shut down by top management someday very soon. Walmart e-Commerce & Walmart Labs are nice place to work. Never join GTS. Note : GTS is an extension to Walmart ISD division which is Walmart's IT team in US. My whole review is about ISD team at Bangalore. 1. HRs are useless. 2. will get promoted or importance if you are licking the feet of managers. if you are showing fake smiles n fake good morning to each one in GTS 3. Cheap politics..they hire telgu people only. if you are non-telgu then you have to keep licking feet of Telgu people in order to keep your job intact. 4. Overall compensation or CTC looks big in offer letter. that's a trick to make you food. out of CTC, 20% component is variable pay, which they never pay..15% is company shares, which they pay after four year. 5. You will find many people who has no work but just stay highlighted & maintain their visibility with non-sense loud conversations or sending junk mails to whole company eveyday. 6. If those people who spends 2-3+ years here, 80% will not be able to get any job outside as they did not nothing but enjoyed in these years. 7. management is a big liar. there are three division, Walmart GTS, Walmart e-commerce & Walmart Labs. management never accepts that these are different & say we are one..but facilities & compensation is far different in GTS & very low. for example, GTS has to fill timesheets while other two division has no timesheet at all. You may easily see Labs people enjoying luxury lunch party every weeks while GTS people have no parties at all.

Pros

Although free lunch was provided by many companies, Walmart's lunch is a step ahead from others with a wide variety of options. They also provide non veg everyday. But, the food quality has degraded a lot since the time I joined, I don't know whether they are monitoring it or not. The second thing I like the most are inhouse pantry for each floor. They are always stocked up food, drinks etc. We even have Xbox in the pantry as well. In summary, anything related to food is good at Walmart. Those are pros, I would say.

Cons

First of all, after spending time at Walmart I understood that the work experience you get is highly dependent of the team you are going in. Unfortunately, I landed in very bad team and my experience was very bad. All the things related to work for me are bad. Showing partiality to some people, not recognising the people for their efforts, rewards system was never clear (rewards are always given to people who puts butter to the manager) and to add it all, the managers are the worst...they don't know what the team members are doing...no clarity on what the road map is for future. I am under 3 managers in my tenure, out of these 3 only the last manager was decent enough..the first 2 are horrible I should say. The less I talk about this work, the better it is. And coming to policies, the HR team says they have innovated the policies for covid situation and all...but in reality all they have done add a small clause to the existing. I will give you an example...there was a fitness reimbursement policy of 1500/pm initially when I joined, they converted it to 18000/py (you can use as much as you can but it is limited to 18k per year) and called it innovated...all they have done is lifted the monthly limit. Now, after covid WFH situation they said that we can buy a computer chair and all...but in reality that again was included in fitness reimbursement. So, fitness + chiar is 18k per year...how funny it is..it is obvious that no body is going to gym during covid....they just adjusted that amount to chair and calling it innovative. There are many like this. So, in short any thing related to work/policies are horrible for me.
