Pros

The best thing about working at Overstock are the friends you'll make. Lots of interesting, genuine people with varied interests. Many teams feel like families and many of my dear friends are former Overstock coworkers. I also appreciate that they take chances on good people and big ideas. And the company overall is progressive, tolerant, and multicultural.

Cons

There is very little structure within the departments. Groups and whole departments are restructured several times a year. In five years there, I had 13 different desk locations, 8 different directors, and 7 different managers. At the time of my termination, I didn't have a manager or directors. I didn't have a job description or general process guidelines. Turnover is painfully high.

Pros

Fast paced environment with LOTS of hands-on experience with many different tools. The people are the reason to stay, lots of smart and caring people, managers, and leaders towards the bottom of the food chain.

Cons

Upper Management has completely destroyed this company and gutted it. In my several years at the company, communication is as poor as it could be. Bonuses are promised and then not followed up on. RIFs happen far too frequently. It is abundantly clear that this company does NOT care about it's employees, and at the moment is almost seems like they are trying as hard as they can to get people to quit so they don't have to pay severances before acquiring more companies and moving headquarters to Texas. The culture in the days of Overstock was incredible, it made people excited about being able to work there. Now people are hanging on by threads, large teams are now carried on the backs of just 1-2 people without additional pay as we see co-workers get laid off left and right. It is not sustainable. Important things are being missed because there are not enough people to do the work, which will end up biting the company in the butt for compliance and finance reasons.
