Pros
- Coworkers and management are very personable, and easy to get ahold of. They are eager to answer questions and to collaborate with you
- Competitive pay with great growth opportunities
- People are everything with this company, whether they are customers or internal. Everyone here ultimately helps the customer, so there is no job considered job
- Work/life balance
- Amazing perks! Fitness center, great cafe, greenhouse, and so many great classes that you are encouraged to take for free
- You create your own experience - the company has a lot to offer, but you have to participate, collaborate, and help make the changes that you want to seeCons
Nothing so far, but if you are not comfortable seeking out the things you want to learn or who you want to learn from then it could be a problem

I have no cons as of working here, it is a place that is constantly changing, so if you aren't able to be fluid and flexible, it won't be the place for you.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing, making this place an exciting and fast-paced place to work. Love working for a company who always strives to be on the cutting edge.

Pros
Technology stack is good, talented co workers, pay is average but better than most of the companies in the valley
Cons
Mid level management doesnt have proper goals and most of them doesnt have skills to manage or direct a team
Advice to Management
Lately lot of people and architects have been leaving the company because of changing company culture. If some one is managing a team or set of teams, please provide capability for employees to rate all the managers higher up the chain.

Pros
- very laid back, almost too laid back

- management
Let me elaborate. You entire lifespan at Overstock will depend on which team you end up on, and which cliques you brown-nose yourself into. If you are lucky, you will have a manager who will shield you from most of senior management's odd ways of operating which include but are not limited to: rapid fire projects that have no consistency (not to mention developer requirements), projects with impossible deadlines that come paired with immediate blockers, or just no sense of direction at all. Mixing these inevitable scenarios, you are left with a system riddled with tech-debt, an analytics platform that no one trusts, and never ending quick-win assignments that only pile on more garbage to the obvious crumbling infrastructure that our drunk leaders call a "tech-company".
- false promises
If the lies about salary being above market value weren't enough, leadership also likes to tease their developers with bonuses and bounties that historically have not been delivered on. Miss the bounty deadline by a day? Dang, no bonus, but we still need that project out there, and yesterday. This carrot-on-a-string strategy has further distanced teams that used to work well together as everyone is now after their own profits.Advice to Management
It seems as if people have been trying to give you advice, maybe it's time to step back and start listening.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Overstock.com full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I like to think of working at Overstock as a being in a startup with the backstop of a large and stable company. The opportunities are nearly endless, and the projects we work on, while clearly moving toward a multi-year vision, are iterative and inform what follows; so while the multi-year is clear, the 3-6 month isn't always due to the nature of working on greenfield projects at the bleeding edge of technology. The great thing about that is that each person gets to help define how we get to our end game, while having clarity around what that end game is.
Cons
Overstock isn't a great place for people who are uncomfortable operating in the unknown. Unfortunately, the fact is that when you're building things that haven't been built before, that's exactly where you have to operate.
Advice to Management
The last year has seen the most rapid and exciting growth that I've ever been a part of. Keep it up.
