Pros

Interesting work, nexgen technologies, good people, good work-home-life balance.

Cons

Not a lot of fun at work. It's a place where people put their head down and get stuff done. Doesn't really have a tech company vibe like one would expect from a company that revolutionized the photo print industry with impressive online products. So, if you are looking to play foosball at work, shoot hoops with your buddies, and play VR games during company parties, it's not going to happen. However, if you like getting stuff done and working hard and being productive....might be a place for you.

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.
