Pros

Do not let the retailer category throw you off! Shutterfly feels like a tech company with many of the perks you may expect in the silicon valley- free drinks, snacks, access to dry cleaning. Great company get-togethers. Quarterly bonus! Career opportunities exist for those who excel in the work place- but do not expect a promotion just because you stay here- must be earned.

Cons

Recent turnover in the executive team.
