There's no specific "supply chain team" that I'm aware of. There are many teams that support supply chain across the DCs, trans, etc. I'm assuming you're referring to the engineering side of the org (versus product, which also has developers). From my experience, the entire engineering org is a bit of a nightmare. The management is abysmal and clueless. They're gung ho about only writing in Java, but they don't have many good Java developers, and standards around data and auth are basically non-existent. Most teams are working on solutions that 5 other teams are also working on independently, and most likely none of them will make it through rollout (and if one does, it probably shouldn't have). Very few good developers interview with Wmt, and the ones that do won't accept the offer because they low-ball everyone. Management doesn't understand the importance of hiring good engineers, and so they accept what they can get (or resort to giving high priority projects to vendors in IST, which never turns out well). However, there are a few bastions of talent and excitement within supply chain. Anyone that used to work for Jet before the buyout is awesome and would be a pleasure to work with. There's cool stuff going on in the automation side of SC, too

WLB at Walmart global tech is very bad. You need to be in constant mindless meetings from 7am to 10pm, with some breaks sometimes, other times you don't have time to even go to the bathroom. This overload would have been fine if the management was appreciative. Upper management is constantly under stress, and passes it down. Most managers are always angry. Everybody I know is looking for jobs outside, we have people leaving the group every week.
