Bet someone here worked on them
- janderson215 6mo agoProbably. Similarly, Walmart has a great eng org for a company of its size.
- dd8601fn 6mo agoReally? Walmart does some spectacularly stupid, costly, and obnoxiously customer hostile stuff.
- geerlingguy 6mo agoBut they do it with much uptime, and very low latency!
- janderson215 6mo agoI know this is tongue-in-cheek, but yes, all I was saying is their eng org. I'm not speaking on their Customer Service or business practices.
- ButlerianJihad 6mo agoWhen I temporarily lost access to my phone, I contacted Walmart dot Com Support. They solemnly informed me that they had no means of overriding MFA for my account or helping me to recover it without the phone. Support told me that I was better off abandoning the account and creating a new one. While I did recover my phone, I decided that it was best to simply stop doing business with Walmart, and I haven’t missed them one bit!
- vips7L 6mo agoDidn’t they start that from acquiring jet.com?
- janderson215 6mo agoIIRC, they revamped Walmart.com around the time of the Jet.com acquisition, so that probably had something to do with it.
- vips7L 6mo agoCool! I had a friend working there at the time. First time I heard about F#
- kj4211cash 6mo agoAs someone who works there, as a Data Scientist, I can't scroll past this without expressing my disagreement. I've never seen a worse eng org. Coming from Uber, it was and is shocking how dysfunctional Walmart tech is. Maybe my standards are too high.
- janderson215 6mo agoPerhaps your opinion is a bit more up-to-date than mine and perhaps you are more critical :-) But an important part that I wish I *bolded* at this point, is *for a company its size*.
- kj4211cash 6mo agoYea, fair enough. This is a great point. My experience has definitely been that company size is inversely correlated with ... functionality of engineering org.
