Not what I expected

Team lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that work here are great people. As an individual, many employees on the manufacturing floor understands and feels the same what. The work environment is safe, climate controlled, and clean.

Cons

Managers are not held accountable for their lack of knowledge, understanding of how to do the job, or just the Good Ol' Boy system. The pay is ok but could be much better. The segregation of the management team is truly severe even from those who fill in for the managers. Company communications concerning plans, training, and even forecasting for the next season is closely guarded and doesn't allow the employees to train accordingly.

Not a good choice for a Bay Area engineer

Senor software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

WLB for the most part. Products are pretty good. No big workloads.

Cons

Poor compensation. maybe shutterfly gives relatively higher rates than other local businesses in Arizona or Minnesota, in but in Bay Area the salaries are just not competitive. LOTS of lead/talented engineers left shutterfly in the past 2 years. Lots of reorganizations after shutterfly squires snap fish. Mysterious promotion cycles.
