great growing experience both professionally and personally
Pros
the perks, benefits and compensation are good, people stay for a while and enjoy working there, most people are respectful and professional, the company is in good financial health, the Shutterfly printing scale has enabled it to become and remain a market leader
Cons
The organization is going through a restructuring as it tries to find a foothold in the new web and mobile markets and there are a lot of opinions and politics that create factions more than groups of individuals. Some have said there is a loss in confidence in engineering. Projects have been rebooted several times and some failed to meet goals, deadlines or expectations. The application core is very monolithic and has accumulated 10 years of code and testing, documentation, and process varies across the organization as a result so does quality. Some improvements have been made to fix core problems and there is a slow march forward. Meanwhile leadership is buying solutions that fill in strategic gaps.
