Good Work life balance, relaxed work atmosphere but

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Shutterfly creates lasting memories

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Shutterfly operates in the small teams settings, giving you a feel of community and working together seems less stretched. Everyone is working towards the same goals set by the CEO. Everyone is communicated the same message that supports the business and management treats everyone equal. All rumors a quelled with the truth within corporate and social circles. All Shutterfly tangible products are made in the USA.

Cons

Separate office locations means more time commuting between work locations. Shutterfly does not match 401K contributions. Health Insurance benefits plans could be improved.

Second worse company I ever worked for.

Business Outlook

Pros

The use direct deposit on pay day. They have Free drinks and cereal.

Cons

The engineers in Phoenix, as a group, are the most incompetent engineers I've ever worked with and it shows in the products they produce. A very very hostile environment. After I put my two week notice in, it took all my emotional strength to show up for those last two weeks.
