Pros

Amazing teams--from the level of staff to senior management. Data operation is clean and efficient. Campus is nice. They provide some decent training opportunities.

Cons

Executive leadership makes decisions that are shortsighted and often seem arbitrary. Morale is in the toilet because everyone from the director level and above (ESPECIALLY senior execs) are so focused on the very short term that they're crippling the ability of the company to function even quarter to quarter. The exec team pats each other on the back when the macroeconomic outlook makes the business look good, and criticizes employees when the macroeconomic outlook makes the business look bad. There's no attempt to steer executive strategy to adapt to changing economic outlook, they prefer to put the screws on the average worker rather than critically reevaluate existing initiatives. Everyone is worried sick about the next round of layoffs, or when the executive team will make another big change impacting quality of life without consulting even senior management. There's almost no trust in executive leadership at this point, and for good reason. Oh, and they pretty badly underpay compared to the rest of the industry as far as data science and analytics goes. They like to say they're a tech company in addition to a retail company but they sure don't act like it.

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.
