Walmart Labs Offer
Recently received a Walmart Labs PM offer, Bay Area (supply chain tech group) and have a few questions about it. I have 7+ years of experience in operations, strategy consulting (MBB) and now working in product strategy. (Offer base $175K, 20% bonus, $25K sign-on, RSUs) 1. Is the PM role in the supply chain team very execution-focused? if yes then does it mean there is less scope strategy or big picture thinking? In such case, I may not get to see the entire lifecycle of building product- product strategy to launch 2. I have heard hours can be long 60+ / week but is it true for all supply chain tech product teams? My expectation was around 50 so would love to know more from people on this team 3. I am little wary of the culture in team as Walmart did put my visa transfer on hold due to internal restructuring (but its sorted now). Would love to hear more candid experiences Thanks a lot for helping! #product #productmanager #pm
What’s the offer and how is it broken down?

Already DMed ! Would love to chat with you
Offer is good for x4 (base range is 140-190ish IIRC). Not as familiar with the supply chain group but the product org is dying at Walmart.
Are you referring to recent reshuffling? I thought the company is growing so there might be cool product opportunities. Also, I have heard hours are crazy and 60+ per week, whats your experience has been?
I can’t speak about supply chain org specifically, but the customer org has gone down hill. All middle management was let go in the restructuring so there isn’t any day-to-day product leadership, and no shield from the swirl from LT. huge attrition in design, product, and eng orgs. Generally a ton of priorities and no resources to execute
For level 4, there is rarely strategy work, so yeah, expect mostly execution. 60h+ sounds about right - teams across the org are thinly stretched and the work is only expanding.
Did you accept the offer? Did they give sign-on in the initial offer itself or after negotiation?
@OP- I have my final round scheduled with Walmart, can I DM you?
Did you end up taking the offer? I'm in a similar boat and would like to pick your brain
Bville or Bay Area?
