Pros

As someone who has been in print for many years, I was excited to join Shutterfly as I viewed them as a forward-thinking techno savy company. I have been blown away at the culture, as I have never felt so appreciated for my knowledge and experience. The Kumbaya Culture and benefits are amazing: DTO (discretionary time off), ability to work from home, stock options (invest in what you believe in), etc. My team is amazing, my direct supervisor is helpful, responsive and keeps pushing me to increase my life/work balance. After working for companies who see their employees as liabilities instead of assets, this is a breath of fresh air!

Cons

Headquarters is in California and sometimes is not as responsive or thoughtful on unilateral decisions affecting all divisions.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
