Pros

Shutterfly is a great place to work for many reasons, here are just a few: - We have a top notch management team that drives company focus on our priorities. This makes it easy to come in every day and say "Is what I'm working on driving the business forward." - Unbelievably skilled direct managers and peers. The the ability to plan strategically and execute flawlessly is a characteristic embodied in everyone here. - Real focus on development of employees. The quarterly review process makes it easy to set goals and work towards achieving them and rewards are doled out accordingly. - Compensation is very competitive and the work/life balance is awesome--especially important if you have a rough commute like I do.
