Pros

There are very department left which are good to work in Engineering so good luck anybody applying to work for Shutterfly in Future.

Cons

Engineering Management is messed up badly. If you see from last year all the good managers and awesome engineers have left in the redwood city office due to bad environment and working culture. Most of Engineering Managers are totally hands-off and does not even have managerial skills. On Tiny prints side is even worst scenarios due one of worst engineering Managers I have come across and seen till date.... I am also seeing lots politics is also happening in QA Engineering now as well so anybody joining in QA good luck and I would not advice to join QA department now for sure...

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
