Pros

Free snacks, and drinks.......um. Well I think they give discount on Shutterfly orders.

Cons

Fort the Santa Clara data center they just throw you in the fire with no support. Expectations were "I am going to tell you once, if I miss something I don't care. You should have it". The leadership there was non-existent. Pathetic really.

Pros

Employee discount is pretty good. Opportunity to move in-between groups is definitely a plus, but only if you're a production worker.

Cons

If good enough is as good as you can do, this is the job for you. There is no sense of teamwork between groups.

Creative, but still corporate

Business Outlook

Pros

The environment is creative and the employees are passionate about the company and the company's message.

Cons

It is still a corporate, revenue centered business. So most employees have zero awareness of decisions being made, and it can take longer than usual to get promoted.
