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.

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.
