Definite pluses, a few minuses

Pros

Shutterfly prides itself on work/life balance and it's really true. There is a great family-oriented culture and the people who work there are respectful and thoughtful. It is a good place to take risks and to hone how to be creative within a data-driven culture.

Cons

The design organization lacks true leadership and there is not a lot of room for growth. The company is slow to act when people are not performing and as a result, many teams are hampered with under-performers. The company is highly geographically distributed, so projects take a lot of cross-timezone coordination. This slows down discussion and velocity and sometimes means a lot of early morning calls.

Pros

Congenial work environment, where the technology groups generally collaborate. There is generally a high spirit of camaraderie among the people in the unit. Senior leadership generally follows thru and delivers.

Cons

The company is not what it used to be. While there is generally cross team collaboration in some units, other teams are sometimes not as responsive and may not play nice. Moving up the corporate ladder may be difficult in some teams. The company may benefit from implementing more innovative solutions.

Pros

- Very collaborative - Variety of work for a robust portfolio - Quarterly bonuses (dependent on company revenue performance)

Cons

- Very old fashioned in terms of tech trends - Office politics (I kept to myself, but I observed it everywhere) - Hard to get promoted unless you're best friends with the up-and-ups
