Best Place I've Ever Worked

Pros

Shutterfly has it all. Work life balance (unlimited PTO, work from home), flexible scheduling (based on your life), incredible benefits (RSUs for senior FT employees and above), competitive pay, and some of the best leadership I've ever seen. Transparency actually exists here, and so does teamwork. I have been here over a year and still love coming to work every day.

Cons

The HQ is in RWC and there are disconnects between that culture and the other facilities. Not necessarily a bad thing because that means other locations have the flexible of the Bay/Tech area culture, but can be hard to get "noticed" since execs are not around as much. Multiple departments have only one person who knows what is going on. Start cross training to make sure if such an employee did leave, it won't be detrimental to the organization.

Not as great a place it used to be ... But still a great place to work!

Business Outlook

Pros

Congenial work environment, where the technology groups generally collaborate. There is generally a high spirit of camaraderie among the people in the unit. Senior leadership generally follows thru and delivers.

Cons

The company is not what it used to be. While there is generally cross team collaboration in some units, other teams are sometimes not as responsive and may not play nice. Moving up the corporate ladder may be difficult in some teams. The company may benefit from implementing more innovative solutions.
