Challenging yet rewarding.

Pros

Interesting technology and smart people make it a dynamic and challenging place to work. The company likes to promote from within and gives plenty of lateral movement opportunities. Management encourages people to step out of they're domains and learn new angles or work in different departments.

Cons

The pace is very fast and at times too fast. People can easily get driven into the ground and burn out if they're not careful. Some technology mandates have seemed more political in nature rather then based on needs. Many options are simply disregarded for reasons that don't always make sense.

I wouldn't recommend it to others

Pros

Overstock.com is good about it's reasonable work schedules for salaried employees, depending on the job position. Overstock, from my experience, has not tried to take advantage of it's salaried employees by overworking them or expecting that they work 60 hour weeks. There are a few company sponsored programs that allow for growth that are given to it's employees. The company also offers a floating holiday which can be taken 1 of 4 days which allows a bit more flexibility in planning time off. The view from the corporate office has a beautiful outlook at the mountains.

Cons

Compensation for work is somewhat non-competitive when compared to the field. To rub salt in that wound, the company is rather open about the fact that it is intending to hire many new members, making it obvious that the lack of pay is not due to the fact that the company does not have the funds for it but rather, a choice made by the management. The process by which an employee is let go is obscure without offering any insight into what happened or how you yourself can avoid a similar fate. Office politics run rampant, and while employees are openly judged bi-yearly by their managers with little ability to speak out against an unfair rating, they have no ability to rate their managers in return, or even speak out against a bad one. In addition, the system on which they are rated is undefined until the moment that they are rated, leaving one wondering exactly what they will be judged on at this particular moment in time. Parking is atrocious at the corporate office, with not nearly enough parking spaces provided for the employees, and most new employees have to park in the overflow lot and take a shuttle to work. While the company does provide some web courses for people to take that it touts are worth college credits, these are primarily a bone thrown to it's customer service department, and useless to anyone who already has a college degree and is looking to expand their education.

The truth about Overstock

Pros

Over the last couple of years Overstock has had a reasonable work environment. They generally give you time-off when you need it. Most team leads are knowledgeable, and have had a fair about of experience before being promoted to team lead. The company is going fast, I hope they don't grow too fast and not be able to handle the growth with system/backend support. The current benefits are good, but we may be headed down a bad road going forward.

Cons

- LOTS of red tape. The good: You go through the process of figuring out your requirements, go through the planning process. Business approves all requirements and design. You start coding and are ready to deploy. The Bad: Along comes architecture/upper IT and they say NO we don't like it. We want you to do it differently. - Not enough hardware and deploy support to handle the number of dev teams in the company. - Interview process and interviewee acceptance We want the best there is, but I think we can be slightly less judgmental on who we pick. Allow someone that isn't so set in their ways. We have a very strong development team, so get people that we can work with and help mold them.
