Q&A With Overstock.com Employees

Just let your team know.

We are a tech company & we promote working wherever you can.

Awesome. Love the 9/80 schedule, every other Friday off!

The culture at Overstock is family-like & oriented. Everyone has a voice & be heard.

I wish there was something that I could say to improve the culture at Overstock. The site is very energetic, with monthly socials and 2 yearly company-wide events. You feel that your presence does make a difference in the companies bottom line and that the company cares for you as an individual, and as a team.

Family oriented & camaraderie.

Unlike anything, you will ever experience. The people are at the heart of Overstock and the company lets you know this. Working at Overstock does not feel like a job, it is like a part of your life's journey. You have the support you need and your contribution to the company is known and appreciated. We have monthly socials and 2 company-wide events every year. We are embedded in the community and even given PTO to volunteer. The company gets the whole picture of the employee life at work and outside of work and allows you to balance that.

amazing. friendly. more of a community than hierarchy.

Yes.

No test. Yes background check.

Just background check no drug screen

On-site health clinic, daycare & gym. Greenhouse. Café. Juice & coffee bar. Gold & silver. 401k, healthcare, dental & vision.

The regular medical, dental and vision. Also short term and long term disability, life insurance and a 6% match on 401k. However, the best benefit that Overstock offers is the work/life balance with a 9/80 schedule, the ability to work from home as needed, an on-site physician, gym, daycare, and greenhouse. They have a total balance program that helps with your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Finally, they offer an employee assistance program. All of these benefits I have utilized and it has helped me stay healthy and grow not only professionally but also personally too.

An on-site health clinic. Café, juice & coffee bar, gold & silver investments & a lot more good ones.

They have had two major layoffs since January. Pathetic

Layoffs happen every year at every company. The thing about layoffs that people always fail to mention is that they're typically based on performance. No one lays off A players. Like literally any other company, don't do a bad job, and you won't get laid off.

Great. We get students to intern for long periods of time & occasionally hired on full-time.

The internship program is a cut above the rest. Not only is it an internship, but also a mentorship. The company cares about the future of its interns and wants to help them achieve their goals. It is very interactive with activities outside of work. Housing is provided if needed and we hire on many of our interns to full-time positions. There is so much to learn by being an intern at Overstock but the training, communication and other skills that you learn being an intern at Overstock are skills that you will use throughout your life not only professionally but also personally.

Great. usually interns get hired full time after their internship.

You will never experience a more positive, career building & learn opportunities anywhere else. The best benefits & amenities.

Overstock is an established company that is very innovative, has great benefits and an amazing culture. You are able to balance your life and grow not only professionally but also personally.

I know that I make a difference at Overstock and that my presence is valued.

EXTREMELY REWARDING. Everyone has an intricate part in the company.

I feel I've accomplished a lot, and Overstock is good at recognizing people for their hard work.

Every day is different & I learn something new.

The culture & self-improvement opportunities.

I’m Not

Secure.

As secure as any employee should that get's their work done, and comes into work every day.

I don’t

Not difficult. It's a family-like culture.

Easy.

Business casual

Overstock is a casual environment so maybe just a step up from casual.

Asking about concepts & syntax.

What are my passions outside of work?

I met a recruiter. One day.

My interview was about an hour and I heard back the same day. The recruiting process was one that I will never forget.

Depends on the position. 15-30min for entry-level. 30-60min technical.

15mins-1hr

Open

It's VERY open, so sometimes things can get incredibly loud. So loud not even headphones can tune it out. For the most part, people are respectful though so that doesn't happen as often as you might think.

Challenged everyday.

Very challenged, they open up training's for employees, no matter what level you are there is always something for everyone.

Immediate.

They definitely accept any and all input. Granted they take an overall vote, so not everyone is going ot get what they want. However, they listen.. that's a big step

As good as PTO gets.

Once you've been with the company for 4 years, it's fantastic!

A lot.

I'd say there is a fair amount of diversity. Not a ton of women in leadership positions, but I think over time that will change.

Working on unique projects that make a difference in the world.

Peace Coliseum and the types of projects I get to work on every year.

Pay is competitive. I am valued for the work I do.

401K match is very competitive.
