Beyond, Inc. reviews

Marketing: This is a retail company, and when marketing offers 10-20% off coupons every day ON TOP of already low prices (still can't beat Amazon 98% of the time though)...well, you "make" less money as a whole, and that leads to layoffs and budget cuts. Budgets: HUGE problems here. Certain departments have gone YEARS without getting vital equipment and staff. When things blow up, putting them back together again can be very difficult and lead to more stress, more work for those already in place. Management/Leadership: 1. President: Why she is where she is, I have no idea, she must have something on the CEO. Watch your back here. 2. SVP's: Some are trying their best to get more for those under them, but dealing with above...not getting much if anything. 3. VP/Director: Next level is where you go from bad to worse in most cases, and I'm talking about the corporate part of the company here, CS really has it good I'd say. VP's and Director's have a tough time managing all of what they're given. 4. Managers/Leads: For the most part good to great! These are the people that hold the team together and keep team morale up. There are a few though that just can't get along, you try to clean up what was a huge mess, and they come down on you thinking you're trying to "steal my thunder" or some crap. Word of advice, if you want to help the team by making it better, go to the person above them and talk about it first. And again, fix your budgeting Overstock, it's killing the company and all of its employees.

Where to begin. There are lots of great people and talent but senior leadership is not where you'd find it. There are some great directors and some vice presidents, but most senior leadership are best friends of the president and CEO. Some have no functional or operational experience in the areas they're over. Lately they have been hiring people just because they have a certain .com on their resume but again no experience whatsoever in the areas they will be over. Leadership changes directions and whims as fast as people change underwear. We bandaid fix things instead of proper upgrades, enhancements, or plain common sense when doing deployments and rollouts. We're told to rush out projects before they are done, just to get something out. Tripping over dollars to pick up dimes is a common theme. The culture is so toxic and getting worse. Many of the people that are causes for this toxic culture seem to get promoted while those who work hard, produce results (backed up by numbers and stats), and add to the bottom line of the company are passed up because they aren't drinking buddies or related to someone in senior management. If Obi-Wan kenobi were asked about working here he'd say, "Move along. This isn't the company you're looking for."
