Pros

Shutterfly has surprisingly good work life balance and joyful atmosphere depending upon which team you work for. I have less idea about manufacturing and work in lab but Creative Design, IOPS, new re-architecture team, NodeJS/Javascript UI developer roles, etc are very good opportunities in SFLY.

Cons

CEO is smart ,CTO is smart but most VPs, Directors, Architects(there are one good one I know but majority just suck) and Managers are too dumb and are afraid of being exposed to CTO,CEO so end up hiring their subordinates(mid level managers) who are dumb and these directors and mangers keep constantly fighting with each other. Many new developers may find it easy unless you are directly replacing the old folks but for some old folks who own the massive size of monolithic codebase(think of same humongous jar library coded between 2003-1015 running inside font end backend and middle tier server pools) struggle all alone in keeping up with new feature releases.

Pros

Flexibly, co-workers , benefits, giveaways free stuff

Cons

Management does not focus on strategies to grow the business. More of a scramble to fix issues. They only see the battle and not the war. No Maternity leave and no one is to be trusted human resource team are bff with management. And absolutely no diversity at all. You can expect to see all white male management and Sr level. No processes sink or swim environment does not focus on development. There are favorites who will get away with murder if you are not your in trouble everyone is not equal.
