Pros

Nice building with interesting things like a cafe and their own produce

Cons

They're all about making money. Don't care about their people, their customers, or their providers.

Pros

There is a lot of room for improvement at Overstock (now Beyond) which means that you get to learn a lot by actually building and trying new things out. A lot of the development teams seem to care about improving their services based off of ops recommendations which is helpful. Pay was good and benefits are pretty good as well. Got to take as much time off as needed to handle personal business.

Cons

I will preface this by saying that there were no cons about working on the ops team. Also, ignore the CEO rating if it still says Jonathan Johnson is the CEO - he's not. When I left the co-CEOs were the Dave Nielsen and Adrienne Lee. I have no idea how to rate them because the only big thing that happened under them was the 2nd layoff of the year (or was it 3rd? I lost track). However, being an ops engineer you get exposed to all sides of Ops and Development. There are quite a few developers that seem to not really care about the product(s) that they work on which ends up becoming an ops problem because their alerts become our problem. There are also some people with lofty titles that don't seem to know what they're doing and it's shocking that they survive the layoffs when I can almost guarantee that they are being paid much, much more than the folks on the ops team that were laid off. Then, the layoffs. There were three during my short time at Overstock. The first two rounds hurt but made sense because they affected business units that were well overstaffed. This last one was...interesting. Having been part of it, the process was incredibly heartless and came at a horrible time (December is an absolute dead time for hiring) as if paying these people their salary for another month would have tanked the company. They let go of a lot of really talented folks that made a positive impact on the company.

Pros

The building is awesome

Cons

They are struggling to keep up with their competition and will likely go out of business. They haven't done raises in 3+ years.

Pros

They'll offer you a nice culture and meaningful work during the interviews. The building looks really nice and everybody says it's great.

Cons

There's a dog eat dog culture and all Overstock cares about is profit. Just check the employee churn data and you'll know whether you want to work here or not. They'll expect you to work unlimited hours and days, especially during most of the holidays.

Pros

Coworkers are my main reason for coming back daily, I'd hate to let them down.

Cons

Toxic ceo is more focused on being confrontational than productive. The consensus in his town hall meetings is to 'keep your head down, avoid direct eye contact, do not ask questions'. He's focusing on building the upper management team while regular layoffs of people who actually do the heavy lifting is reducing our actual output.

Pros

Secret weapon known as The Fixer. Great employees which care about each other and building a great company. Leadership says employees are the most important thing. The teams are small but mighty. You can learn a lot from your colleges at this company.

Cons

I would rather focus on the positive.
