Pros

I really like working at Overstock, I've been with them for a while because I believe in the overall vision of the company. The people you work with are great, everyone listens to each other in my department, and we work together to accomplish goals. The company really cares about employee insight, and polls the employees when they are considering big changes. The polls they send take a collective vote of what employees would like an outcome of the change to be, especially when it comes to things that benefit or do not benefit the employees. It's really cool that they care..

Cons

If you aren't friends with someone in a different department, you might as well never consider moving around in the company (if say you want to move up). A lot of judgement is placed on a person if you ever make a mistake, big or small. In some areas this isn't the case, but it all depends on who your manager is, and what department you work in. They have weird titles for people in the company that usually don't fit industry standard, and pay isn't great. Essentially if you don't have a degree it's perceived that A. You can't move up in the company B. You can never make a substantial living to survive in Utah without roommate/spouse. Maybe that's the case with any company, but it does become rough when you train a new manager on how to do their job and you are their employee.

Pros

Work life balance, salary, annual bonus, technically challenging. Not anyone I don't like working with. Patrick (CEO) seems like he really cares. I like that ALL members of the development team have to pass the same technical pre-employment testing that I did. Lagoon day is AWESOME!

Cons

Overly process heavy at times. Open office setting (no cubicles) is a turn-off. Security guards get better parking than the staff.

A Corporate Circus - never a dull moment but very exhausting.

Pros

My position allows me to be a fly on the wall. I interact with executives, entry level associates and mid-management folks on a regular basis. Very laid back environment. Upward mobility in this company is a very real possibility. The CEO, Dr. Patrick Byrne, is an eclectic student of eastern thought and this is very apparent in his decisions. Your happiness will very much depend on the department that you are in. I've luckily been placed in one where the department's VP knows me personally and will advocate for anyone worthwhile and coach the ones that aren't worth a grain of salt out. If you are seeking a rainbow friendly, pet-advocating, fair trade proponent employer then O.co is the place for you. Just read the next section to understand the cons.

Cons

Nepotism. Nepotism. Nepotism. This a prevailing theme inside of the organization. It wouldn't bother me so much if they were contributing members of their team. The benefactors are placed into positions they are so clearly unqualified for. This makes surrounding colleagues pick up the slack. If professionalism is something that you highly value, I'd suggest to keep looking. Vulgarity is quite acceptable and sometimes encouraged. Patrick always has a colorful comment during company-wide meetings - entertaining to me personally, but I can see how offensive certain people. Compare the salaries of senior executives against Amazon - Overstock pays theirs nearly double. This is very unwarranted for some executives and a real slap in the face when you see the disparity compared to hourly employees and the promise of a "bonus" each year. Management is very volatile. I understand this industry requires agile decision making, but the amount of change is staggering. Like I said, upward mobility is a very real possibility in this company - but that sometimes isn't a good thing. On the plus side, if you don't like your boss it's a very good chance you will have a different one in a few months. With any job, but especially this one in particular, I'd recommend having a backup plan and continuing to seek employment. I've known entire teams to disappear and executives traversing the many levels below them to personally fire someone if they don't like them.
