Pros

Shutterfly prides itself on work/life balance and it's really true. There is a great family-oriented culture and the people who work there are respectful and thoughtful. It is a good place to take risks and to hone how to be creative within a data-driven culture.

Cons

The design organization lacks true leadership and there is not a lot of room for growth. The company is slow to act when people are not performing and as a result, many teams are hampered with under-performers. The company is highly geographically distributed, so projects take a lot of cross-timezone coordination. This slows down discussion and velocity and sometimes means a lot of early morning calls.
