Re:Walmart Beats Amazon in $15B Flipkart Battle on Monday May 07, 2018 @02:16PM (#17015024)

Walmart has an awesome research and development labs known as Walmart Labs in Bangalore. Flipkart has its development headquarters in Bangalore too. They have awesome engineers too.

Both Walmart Labs and Flipkart hire the best computer scientists and software engineering talent from across the country. They pay as much as and sometimes more than what Google Bangalore pays its engineers.

With Walmart now acquiring a majority stake in Flipkart, I can see the two strong and highly skilled engineering centers coming together and forming a formidable team to give a tough competition to Amazon.

Re:Walmart to Buy Bonobos, Men’s Wear Company, for $310M on Friday June 16, 2017 @05:12PM (#14572690)

Walmart and WalmartLabs are two different entites. One is headquartered in Bentonville (AR) and the other is headquartered in San Bruno (CA). The Labs is the technology entity that is funded very generously by Walmart. I work for Walmart and I find the environment very fast paced, colleagues are very skilled and the pay is at par with Google and Amazon.
