Pros

Good company culture, good benefits, some nice perks at work (currently at least), "pay for performance" type of rewarding scheme - so you get quarterly bonuses based on performance, plus official & unofficial raises can happen which can include additional RSUs awarded. Unofficial raises are what I call ones that get you more benefits without a formal promotion. Benefits in terms of salary, health benefits, stock options, 401k are comparable to good companies. The vision plan covers transition lenses for free, and dental plan covers braces for adults up to $1500. Perks include free snacks and free drinks at work, some form of gym. Good culture includes having several company events a year for celebration, and quarterly & monthly all hands meetings.

Cons

401k has no employer matching left out in favor of "pay for performance" rewarding culture.

Pros

Good pay, supportive management, fun perks, (free catered lunches for holidays and during peak season)

Cons

Long Holiday hours with very repetitive work. You are on a quota system to get cards proofed and perfected and off to print, which is difficult if you really want to do a primo job for the customer. If you don't mind sitting in front of a computer for 70 hours a week doing the same thing over and over again, this is a great place to work.

Pros

the perks, benefits and compensation are good, people stay for a while and enjoy working there, most people are respectful and professional, the company is in good financial health, the Shutterfly printing scale has enabled it to become and remain a market leader

Cons

The organization is going through a restructuring as it tries to find a foothold in the new web and mobile markets and there are a lot of opinions and politics that create factions more than groups of individuals. Some have said there is a loss in confidence in engineering. Projects have been rebooted several times and some failed to meet goals, deadlines or expectations. The application core is very monolithic and has accumulated 10 years of code and testing, documentation, and process varies across the organization as a result so does quality. Some improvements have been made to fix core problems and there is a slow march forward. Meanwhile leadership is buying solutions that fill in strategic gaps.
