Beyond, Inc. Software Developer Sr reviews

We had some recent layoffs and they are a bummer. A few of my friends were affected. It's tough, but it seems that many of the people let go had grown apart from Overstock and it may have been the best thing for all involved. Others were laid off because a huge ramp in hiring and marketing spend did not work out as expected, so the company, unfortunately, had to reset it's bearings. Beyond that, some employees are bothered by the frequent changes in direction, which is a totally valid concern, but it's been the same at any other company I've worked and it honestly stopped bothering me before I even started at Overstock the first time. I am super-optimistic, however, about the new management as they are moving in the direction of customer and data-driven decision making, which I have come to believe is the best way to build and run a business.

Lacks Honesty. Many people just pretend to work as words works better than work. People get promoted as they talk big and sell dreams and nobody cares for actual work. Everyone is trying to oversell themselves. Not sure if Politics and Nepotism has lead to this but it's not a good place to work if you are not vocal and can't sell yourself well.
