Pros

Awesome culture and great people. This is the most fun that I have had working at any company. Most people have a get it done attitude but also know when to relax and have fun. Things are always changing so difficult to get bored. Pay and benefits are good. Lot of opportunities for talented people to grow and be developed into whatever they want. Your efforts will be recognized.

Cons

Since things are always changing sometimes things get loss in the mix. Lots of structure and processes are being developed/deployed to make sure everyone is on the same page but this can be improved. I feel that the disconnect between the front end of the business and the back end is the largest con. I know that new product offers are a key aspect to the business to stay relevant and maintain market leadership, but sometimes concepts for products are not fully vetted on how it will be produced before making the decision to pursue. There are lots of hidden costs that are not being accounted for. Introducing a colored envelope may sound simple but there are huge impacts downstream and sometimes it is not worth providing the customer with the option of selecting every color in the world.

Pros

Shutterfly creates great products and really cares about its customers. As an employee, if you are intelligent, work hard, and work for the right manager, you can succeed and be happy there.

Cons

Sadly, they don't care about their employees as much as their customers. Politics are raging at Shutterfly. One single engineering manager caused 8 really great engineers to quit. HR was oblivious.
