Pros

The Irish office is brilliant. Full of nice people and the facilities are perfect. The culture in the office is wonderful, with work-life balance being very important to all levels of staff.

Cons

The salary is not great. It's ok for the West of Ireland, but with remote working available to most, it just cannot compete with companies in Dublin, Galway or Limerick. They could try and compete, but the US office does not supply sufficient funding to the Irish office to do so. The old CEO loved the Irish office and although he had some questionable ideas, he would have this office thrive right now if he was still in charge. The current CEO took over and would probably close the Irish office down today if he could. He does not care for the Irish office - it's just something at the back of his mind. In his 3 or 4 years in charge, he still has not even bothered travelling over from Utah to visit the 70-90 staff members. The Irish office is neglected and all of the benefits of the amazing office and staff has come from the work of the Irish employees and the previous team in the US before Jonathan Johnson took charge. He is not responsible for anything worth talking about.

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.
