I live right down the street from Walmart so we wouldn’t get this, but using the Walmart Grocery app and picking up our order has been great. About six months ago a recruiter asked me if I was interested in moving to Bentonville. It’s been interesting to watch the app improve since then, they’re really putting a push on making it work well. It’s great because this has made us buy smaller orders so we waste less food, whereas before we’d make a semiweekly Costco run and most things would spoil.
- opportune 7y agoThat's interesting, I figure all of Walmart Labs was located in San Bruno. Or was this a non-tech position? If the pay is comparable to San Bruno and you can tolerate living in... Arkansas... I bet that money would go pretty far
- maxxxxx 7y agoWhat I have seen of arkansas was actually pretty nice.
- opportune 7y agoI'm from a similar area, I have a feeling you wouldn't consider it as nice if you were nonwhite, had a nonwhite SO, were LGBT, or got involved in the community outside the tech/corporate bubble (e.g. for kids). Or if you like more urban living. Or if you like more vibrant art/music communities. Or... Of course some people like it and if they do there's a big COL disparity to take advantage of, but there are lots of reasons you might not want to live in a place like that.
- someguydave 7y agohow does it feel to exhibit the generalizing stereotyping of thousands of humans you claim to abhor?

- bashook 7y agoI work in Bentonville for Walmart Labs. Glassdoor salaries are probably accurate for Software Engineers if that’s what interests you. I grew up in the area so family is my primary driver in location at the moment. If you like a more rural setting with an interesting art/culture vibe it can be a fantastic place.
- reaperducer 7y agoyou can tolerate living in... Arkansas Based on the downvotes you're getting, I suspect there are plenty of HN'ers who would rather have a good life in Arkansas than tolerate living in San Bruno.
- diminoten 7y agoI live here (Rogers, AR), it's fine. May was rough though, with the crazy weather. The area is growing substantially. Heck, we're getting a Top Golf! I love the low cost of living; coming from D.C. and its crazy housing situation, it's a breath of fresh air (figuratively and literally).
