Pros

The workforce is the most welcoming I have ever encountered; within my first day I felt like part of the team. Everyone has time for you, no question is too small, and there is never a shortage of smiles in the office.

Cons

The fact that I'm only here for a temporary time period; my next job won't even compare to the upbeat atmosphere at Shutterfly!

Pros

The corporate culture is amazing. The people are amazing. The company really cares about its people and treats them like family.

Cons

Very entrenched in the way things are done currently, though there is constant talk of improving things. Very slow development cycles. Very high attrition of some of the best people. Other people get pigeonholed and never get to move from one role to another.
