Pros

Shopping.com is a terrific place to work, in that the people are very friendly, intelligent, supportive, and hard-working, and know how to balance work and fun. I looked forward to coming to work each day and left happy. My co-workers were great, and I still keep in touch with several of them. Shopping.com hires terrific people who contribute to a positive, interactive, and driven culture.

The work was challenging and enjoyable, and I loved that everyone was passionate about what they were doing and how they were doing it.

Management is serious about fostering growth and success and nurturing each employee's professional interests. Expectations are high, but so is delivery, and managers work just as hard for their teams as they expect their teams to work for them.

Shopping.com has the "internet company culture," with many perks and organized social activities throughout the year. The office is full of personality, with an appealing, unique, and interesting environment.

Management is terrific about keeping employees in the loop about current events, company performance, plans for future developments, etc. The company really respects employees and makes it a priority to keep them in the loop and in the know. They don't keep people in the dark, and they respect, listen to, and value employee feedback.

Cons

Senior management sometimes jumps to conclusions, based on their observations, rather than going directly to the source to get the facts. That can lead to actions being misinterpreted and conclusions that are based on speculation, rather than solid information.

Advice to Senior Management

Rather than make assumptions, gather all of the facts and go directly to the source, to make sure the conclusions are accurate.
