Corporate America at it's finest

Pros

Direct Manager & Co-workers are great. Flexible for any time off needed, and Flexible schedules. Relatively low stress most days.

Cons

Wages are not competitive, No 401k match, Mass layoffs of amazing people, while it's impossible to fire the people slacking off or actually responsible. (in fact those are the people that end up being promoted) Ongoing training / career development is a joke. A lot of talk & not a lot of action.

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...
