Pros

I actually have been pleased with the salary, benefits, etc.. For those in SLC, the daycare is a pretty sweet deal if you have kids. 401k match at 6% is pretty rare to find. The people I have worked with have been great (although most of them were let go).

Cons

Are you tired of all the Web 2.0 technologies? Do you long for the days of JSP, XHTML, AJAX? Maybe some Adobe sprinkled in? You'll find plenty at Overstock so come on board! How about sequential cron jobs that process millions of records and complete in only 14 hours? There is a lot of junk written by offshore groups and the technical staff is not sufficient to rewrite in newer technologies so lots of great talent are leaving for more exciting roles.

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.
