Pros

Most people are great to work with at overstock. Work to life balance is amazing. The culture is 21st century. Everyone is easy going and laid back. Despite my cons overstock is a fun place to work and is filled with, mostly, great people. I enjoyed my time there!

Cons

Management is horrible...very horrible. Executives don't plan and push projects professionally. Instead everything is done at the drop of a hat. Anything can happen, at anytime with 0 heads up. Plus executives are treated like royalty, you have to drop everything you are doing to help an executive, because it seems like they aren't capable of helping themselves. Nepotism. Can't go to either of overstocks locations without an executives relative calling the shots, even if they have no idea what they are doing. Probably get paid 4x more than any other employee as well. You are asked to do things outside of your scope and if you don't you can get fired, again, speaking of executives here.

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.
