Pros

Overstock / Beyond used to be one of the gems along Silicone Slopes in terms of work culture and a place to grow your career. There are still many great IC's there that are working hard to survive. As soon as the Board allowed JJ to be removed and his successor to be installed things have gone horribly wrong.

Cons

5 rounds of layoffs in 2024 with the final one two weeks before Christmas. The entire executive team has been fired and some positions twice since the new Chairman took the reigns. Transparency, collaboration, and communication are all gone, nobody dares share their opinion. It's a one man show and the proof are in the financial results. There is no actionable business plan with the purchase of two bankrupt businesses combined with the parent headed into bankruptcy. There is no product distinction for any of the brands, customers are confused, Google's algorithms are confused, and there is no plan to fix 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.
