Pros

Unlimited amounts of excess at the executive level; free lunches, expensive snacks, premium drinks, good pay, fast-paced, hard-partying environment and zero accountability. Once you've made it to the top, nobody is watching you. Very diverse, supportive, hard-working community at the customer service and partner care levels -- they're the building blocks on which the company thrives. The environment in which the entry-level workers occupy is excellent and a compliment to Patrick Byrne's care of the employees and their personal needs.

Cons

Overemotional executive-level leadership is very reactive and unprofessional. It's difficult to navigate the aggressive, caffeine-fueled, emotional responses of the upper management. There are no consistent training systems are in place for any level of hire. The company is wildly reactive to trends and therefore does not have any long-term approaches to anything, even at a basic customer care or product management level.

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.
