Pros

The people are what make Shutterfly worth considering, but not those at the top.

Cons

Since going private, the company has turned into a place where hard decisions are not made, as evidenced by all the RIFs done since going private. The people at the top just keep bringing more of their own people who don't know much about retail. It's become toxic with people being either "in favor" or out of favor.

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.
