Pros

Interesting work, nexgen technologies, good people, good work-home-life balance.

Cons

Not a lot of fun at work. It's a place where people put their head down and get stuff done. Doesn't really have a tech company vibe like one would expect from a company that revolutionized the photo print industry with impressive online products. So, if you are looking to play foosball at work, shoot hoops with your buddies, and play VR games during company parties, it's not going to happen. However, if you like getting stuff done and working hard and being productive....might be a place for you.

Pros

Employees who joined SFLY before acquisition are very capable and passionate about SFLY. Great brand equity and abundant opportunities with SFLY and Snapfish brands (international expansion, etc) Excellent operations team

Cons

Executive team has some major weak spots CEO repeating same mistakes she made at WAG (read CNN article on Hillary's profile) Post PE acquisition, company going thru numerous cost savings efforts. Expect regular change in direction and cloud of secrecy as these efforts are executed.
