Glassdoor data is useless, especially if you are trying to get "averages" from it.

#22I asked the recruiter multiple times if what Fox (the movie studio) was offering was legit. They offered me $20,000 more than Microsoft.
which is a huge difference. you can hire half-time maid/cook with that. Did you take it?

#23This won't apply to everyone, but before applying to Walmart/Walmart Labs, do remember that Walmart will ask you to pass a drug test.
You may not know, but does the Dept. of Justice announcing they won't challenge state medical marijuana laws have any effect on pre-employment drug testing? Why or why not? Most employers seem to be moving away from it, in my experience.
Independent of state (medical or otherwise) marijuana laws, employers still drug test (even in WA, where personal pot use is legal, for example). Pot users aren't a protected class for discrimination purposes, afaik. I agree that it seems silly.
Things are a bit different in the software world, where employers are moving away from drug testing because they need all the talent they can get. It turns out some potheads are actually pretty productive members of society if you give them a chance.

Most tech employers never had it to begin with. I don't understand how it's legal, honestly.

Also remember that they are evil. I don't toss this around lightly, but Wal-Mart is one of the very few companies (I actually can't think of any others right now) that I absolutely will not do business with no matter what.
Could you elaborate why?

#26Walmart has a division called Walmart Labs that is based in Silicon Valley. They are working on many complex projects, especially around Big Data. Not sure how big that engineering group is compared to the rest of Walmart IT, but I would assume that group is nicely paid and working on interesting problems.
Entry level (i.e., junior dev) salaries at Walmart Labs are $100k. This is based off of multiple data points.
> multiple
Approximate number? Are we talking 2, 20, 200?

#27But I bet they don't have a foozball table or all the Red Bull you can drink! They aren't COOL!
Are they?
ARE THEY?!
Re: Software engineers tell Glassdoor that Walmart pays more than Facebook
#28What about years of experience. Was that factored in ? FB attracts younger folk. Networking code needs a bit more experience than JS/html/css !

I dont understand why private businesses discriminating even matters. They just put themselves at a disadvantage by limiting their applicant pool based on whatever tests/discrimination they want.

I don't toss this around lightly, but Wal-Mart is one of the very few companies I absolutely always do business with because it is cheap, reliable, and I hate going to multiple stores on a single shopping trip.
