Pros

Some of the brightest engineers built this company.

Cons

The company is under new management since the purchase of BedBathAndBeyond. The entire executive team is under the dominion of one man. The amount of deceit is off the scales! They retain talent until they've served their migration to headless. Every engineer is expendable at that point. There was an internal unsaid subversive mandate to eliminate 80% off the entire tech organization. The only remaining engineers are those in Ireland because Irish labor laws are more stringent than at-will. I strongly suggest you look for employment elsewhere. They do not value talent. Nor do they wish to promote an honest company culture. Every positive comment is said as a manipulation tactic to get workers to comply until they are done with you.

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.
