Pros

I was at Shutterfly for four years. Great people with tons of talent and heart who enjoyed each other both professionally and socially. High quality product and the feeling of adding value to customers' lives. Lots of free product offers. Competitive salary, pretty decent benefits.

Cons

Poor choices by some of the new leadership in my department. Re-orgs that did not help, poorly handled layoffs without a solid plan for handling the aftermath which led to very low morale. Challenging location given how much worse traffic has become and very little flexible WFH options.

Pros

Great atmosphere, co-workers are genuine and enjoy social activities at work as well as after. Opportunities are there as long as you are willing to put in the effort.

Cons

Management is hit or miss. Some are great, get to know your strengths and weaknesses, help build you up, make it not only about the job but improving yourself to make the unit stronger. You have others that don't know the part of the business they're managing at all and get by just delegating work out.

Pros

Free snacks, and drinks.......um. Well I think they give discount on Shutterfly orders.

Cons

Fort the Santa Clara data center they just throw you in the fire with no support. Expectations were "I am going to tell you once, if I miss something I don't care. You should have it". The leadership there was non-existent. Pathetic really.
