Pros

- It was a great place to work before it was acquired by Shutterstock - Depending on who you work with – great people

Cons

- Its been a mess post acquisition, so many leadership shifts - There are some job huggers there that arguably don't do much - I don't think they know what they're doing or how to make money so their solution was to lay off people
