Interviewed Nov 2009 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 2 days)
- Got contacted by the recruiter
- A week later I was interviewed on the phone by 3 people. Interview lasted for one hour.
- The next day I was invited for an onsite interview at SLC office. The prompt response was appreciated.
- A week later I interviewed 10 people over the course of 5 hours. The first interview was very technical. The other interviews talked about different topics, ranging from technical to software processes and management to life in Salt Lake City.
- Most of the people at the interview were respectful and gracious.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation process. More like take it or leave it. Not sure if this is the case because the recruiting was done through a recruiting service. So, make sure to have a clear idea of what salary you want. Do not expect stock options, clear bonus structure, or anything related to stock purchase plans. The main benefit is the 401K in case you value such a thing.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took a day)
My interview consisted of meeting with two individuals in the department I was interviewing for. They asked the basic questions about job history and education level. They also had me explain what I knew about Overstock and why I wanted to work for them. They were very friendly and answered any questions that I had about what the job entails and about the culture at Overstock. They let me know the outcome of the interview in less than a week.
