Supportive culture but faces talent retention challenges - Content Development Specialist Shutterfly Employee Review

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.

Pros

- Products are cool. - Company meetings are always upbeat and encouraging.

Cons

- Used to also have great culture and benefits. Now main focus is on cost-cutting and offshoring. - CTO often establishes authority through intimidation and bullying, along the lines of "I want this feature rewritten. How long will it take?" "About a week." "When I was at this other start up, it took 3 days to rewrite a feature. Why can't you do it in 3 days?!" "Well our system is much more complex to update and test and...okay we'll push off all other work and pull all-nighters and weekends and give you in 3 days since it's a CTO ask." "Why do you habitually lie and say a week when you can pull it off in 3 days?!?!" - There now also appears to be a strong ethnic/gender bias in maintaining the technical workforce. - Even when sound bytes sound right, they translate into questionable actions.
