Pros

Nothing to say. Thanks to the HR I do not have any plans of joining this company.

Cons

I was scheduled for an interview with this company. The HR called up and said she will set up an interview and said she will send an e-mail with the time, which I never received. One fine day the interviewer calls and says the you now have an interview. When I contacted the HR again that I was never informed or sent a confirmation about the interview - the HR says "If you did not receive an email that is your problem" when I asked can you send me a copy of the email again so at least I can see - The HR says " I have no time and I will cut the call now and I'll cancel your interview". The rudest lot you can ever find.

Pros

Really supportive manager, super smart colleagues, and all the resources to get things done. Shopzilla is turning into a data driven organization, hiring exceptional people and putting the architecture in place to make significant insights from data

Cons

I still feel uncertain about the future direction of the company -- how it will make money, whether there is room to innovate, etc.

Fun while it lasted, now in dangerous times

Pros

The free lunches were good. There were many fun employee events. Casual attire was allowed. They provided flexible hours and telecommuting for some. Worked with many talented people.

Cons

Shopzilla publicly announced that it was being bought out by Symphony Technology Group (a private company) in April 2011 from Scripps Network Interactive (a public company). The president formally announced that there would be no changes and to expected business as usual. When Symphony officially took over in June 2011, they laid off 30 employees (10% of staff) the first week of ownership. Many of the employees released were highly valuable and had served the company for many many years. Out of political shrewdness, they basically cut off part of their arm by letting key people go just so they can improve their financial statement to the new owners. Little did they know that it would sooner or later come back to haunt them through a subsequent mass voluntary exodus of other good employees.
