Shutterfly is a great place to make a difference in a fun industry for a company that's not too big and not too small. - Anonymous employee Shutterfly Employee Review

Pros

Fun product and service, good culture with smart people, not to big and not too small, solid buisiness that makes money in good times and bad, good place to learn from experienced and sucessful people especially the management team. All in all I'm pretty happy and its much better than the other four valley companies I've worked for.

Cons

Twice a month during product releases the hours increase. We don't have the resources that Google or Oracle had so the "free" perks aren't as great.

Pros

- Products are cool. - Company meetings are always upbeat and encouraging.

Cons

- Used to also have great culture and benefits. Now main focus is on cost-cutting and offshoring. - CTO often establishes authority through intimidation and bullying, along the lines of "I want this feature rewritten. How long will it take?" "About a week." "When I was at this other start up, it took 3 days to rewrite a feature. Why can't you do it in 3 days?!" "Well our system is much more complex to update and test and...okay we'll push off all other work and pull all-nighters and weekends and give you in 3 days since it's a CTO ask." "Why do you habitually lie and say a week when you can pull it off in 3 days?!?!" - There now also appears to be a strong ethnic/gender bias in maintaining the technical workforce. - Even when sound bytes sound right, they translate into questionable actions.
