Pros

I love working at Shutterfly - the people are so nice, welcoming, supportive and fun to work with. I've never felt such a positive vibe in a working environment before. Our CEO and executive leadership team participate in weekly Q&A sessions with the company and I've been impressed by the level of transparency and openness with employees. It's so appreciated and sets the tone for how we act and handle difficult conversations throughout the org. We're experiencing change and it can get messy, but people are trying hard to make things better and improve the company for our customers and for employees. If you're willing to navigate through the challenges of change, then you're in for a wonderful experience!

Cons

There are difficulties that come from change/transformation that can make it hard to be productive: lack of clarity in roles/responsibilities or decision-making; tension between the old and new ways of doing things; many new people onboarding, which can slow things down, etc. But over time, these challenges will fade away and those who are still around will have created a better, stronger organization.
