Working at Overstock.com in Salt Lake City, UT: 19 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Salt Lake City, UT Area

"Poor senior management. Ruled by fear."

"Worst company I ever worked. I don't recommend anybody to work there if they are having same big issues within IT."

"The people you will work with at Overstock.com can't be beat. Everyone is willing to help everyone around them grow and learn. The only downside is that most of the executive leadership wants to have their own view reflected, and while their input is valuable, it slows the process down so work has to be rushed and not done as well as it could be."

"Been going downhill in the IT department for the last year with new senior management."

"Overall a great company to work for."

"I worked for Overstock for 3 months as a development intern. The work was fun, the development team was fun and the opportunities at Overstock are endless."

"I have fond memories of my Overstock days. There were stressful days to be sure but there was a lot of fun days too."

"I am with Overstock.com for the past 5 years. It has been a great experience here so far. The overall work environment is very productive and tension free."

"I have worked for Overstock for over 2 years. At first it was great, but then there was some restructuring on the executive level. The result was a huge increase in the amount of micro-management that takes place. Nearly three times a week, the executives review the new content to be deployed hours before the end of the day when they are due. Because they feel the need to be involved in every single change this leads to changes that must be made last minute."
