You would be correct. My wife has worked for Amazon hence my observation and now she’s working for the retail behemoth which is why I live in Rogers Arkansas outside of Bentonville (Walmart Corporate Office). They too keep it very simple. HQ is an old converted distribution center I believe and you will find very few windows as a result. In a couple of years or less the new HQ should open and they’ve broken ground months ago. If the building that the Engineering staff work from is any indication it’ll be nice but not ostentatious.
Its funny though going on my 3rd year as a Seattle expat i’m seeing the culture change. I saw like one Tesla when I moved here…now i’m seeing them regularly.
Back on topic somewhat. They’re big on Java out here. If someone has solid Java skills it’s worth a look because Walmart doesn’t have enough engineers to keep every project well stocked. JB Hunt down the street is probably in the same situation.
