Pros

Everyone really cares about the customers and all employees are expected and empowered to go above and beyond to satisfy every customer. This results in very happy customers which makes it fun to work with them and serve them.

Cons

We play hard but we also work very hard. At times we are expected to multi-task on an overwhelming number of projects, but it's very rewarding to get that much work done.

Shutterfly is a great place to make a difference in a fun industry for a company that's not too big and not too small.

Pros

Fun product and service, good culture with smart people, not to big and not too small, solid buisiness that makes money in good times and bad, good place to learn from experienced and sucessful people especially the management team. All in all I'm pretty happy and its much better than the other four valley companies I've worked for.

Cons

Twice a month during product releases the hours increase. We don't have the resources that Google or Oracle had so the "free" perks aren't as great.
