I have been working at Overstock.com full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Decent salary
Super Low Stress
Nice Office
Cons
The company is an absolute disaster with no real plan. The retail side of the business is always in talks to be sold so the company can focus on the worthless crypto side. The company is hemoraging money so they, logically, decided to set up shop in Seattle to pay Seattle salaries on engineers. Of course, there's no plan to do anything with the engineers it's just a bunch of managers going on a drunken hiring spree in order to increase the size of their empire so they can continue to keep their own jobs as the eventual cuts happen. Layoffs happen all the time and the work is completely useless.
If you really don't care about what you do, can afford to be laid off for a while when the cuts eventually come, and just want a paycheck; this place isn't too bad. Just show up and do the minimum because it just doesn't matter.
Advice to Management
Have an actual plan when you hire people. Communicate goals. Accept new ideas. Or, you know, keep doing what you're doing and run the company into the ground.
