Hello! Looking to join Walmart in a few weeks. Can anyone share info about perks, food, shuttles and new hire equipment for San Bruno office? Current TC: 0 New TC: 250k YoE: 8 years
Your health insurance is substituted with a free Walmart+ membership.
Is this for real? I am currently not on Walmart health insurance, would love the plus membership
Lmao I wish. We don’t get free W+ but we do get normal health insurance
Every day low cost. So no perks
Perks: Idk about San Bruno, but Sunnyvale has free EV charging (first come, first served per day). Associate discount card that gives you 10% off on in-store and online purchases (some restrictions apply and no limit on 10%). Walmart has a pretty good relocation package (not cash straight up necessarily but a lot of assistance with moving and spousal/S.O. support too). Free Calm subscription. Food: There’s a cafeteria in the office. Pretty decently tasting food. The cuisine rotates a couple times every week so there are always different options. Also it’s quite affordable (I spend like $8 on a big lunch). Free coffee/soda and popcorn (the latter in the afternoon). This is all regarding Sunnyvale office. Shuttles: There are shuttles available (you’ll likely get an email sent out with the schedule). As far as I know, it is pretty far-reaching in the Bay Area so it’s probably gonna be an option for you. However the one caveat is that it’ll typically mean early mornings and late evenings (think like get on bus at 8am before work and get off bus at 6pm after work). New hire equipment: You’ll obviously get a laptop computer for your work, but you can request a number of things for your home setup. For example, a nice 4K monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, adapters, etc Dm me if you want more info
Thank you! This is very helpful!
Here’s a counter point for Sunnyvale. The office is cramped as fk. You are packed like sardines. San Bruno is far better. Charging - literally every other employee has a fking Tesla. And they will try to run over unsuspecting employees on their way to win the charger sweepstakes. There’s like 16 working ports. And from time to time 4 of them are out of commission. You will need to show up by 745 am to get a charge. Otherwise prepare to threaten other employees if they sit on their asses and don’t unplug. Cafeteria food - unless op here has mastered some sort of Jedi arts your 8 dollars get you shitty tasting Indian food according to my Indian coworkers ((and it’s usually 11 bucks after tax) or a large bowl of salad which will clean your colons deep into the evening. Popcorn is nice. I will agree. It makes up for the overpriced lunch as otherwise the cafeteria staff may feel threatened by the employees with violence for overpriced food. New hire - everyone in GT gets a big fking 16 in mac with security software up the wazoo they you will lose connectivity once a week at the minimum. There’s an IT bar to fix those issues only if they feel like they want to show up. 1/2 of the time you are out of luck. You will need to beg and beg hard for additional equipment. Ask and you will not receive. If you think Amazon is cheap Walmart can and has outdone them. On the 10 pct discount. They will never tell you how to use it online. Go figure it out yourself. And pray that you live near one in the Bay Area. Welcome aboard though! Remember everyday low prices.
Which level are you in? (Curious about the 250k)
sounds like x5 aka Staff
Yep, its level 5
Lol perks. No espp. No fsa. 😝
Wow really? I spoke to a recruiter today and didn't really mentioned anything about perks
Everyday low prices. Save more. Live better
Charging is not free anymore
