Pros

Incredible vibe/atmosphere all around. Shopify really values long term growth, they happily sponsor any books you feel will help you improve either personally or professionally as a software engineer. They focus very heavily on culture, insane office. Different menu everyday and sushi biweekly! They provided housing too and additionally took us out for an intern retreat (Mt. Tremblant). Made tons of great friends, got really close with the other interns and full-times. Would come back.

Cons

Didn't have any complaints, had a great overall experience.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

Legacy Shopify ICs and lower-level managers are excellent and generally quite nice (company's Canadian after all) Caliber of engineering talent is generally high Dev-friendly stack (Ruby/Rails) Bleeding-edge AI adoption with unlimited token budget

Cons

Recently brought over a CTO from Microsoft: he brought with him a lot of not-at-all-nice people who are highly political, frequently rude/condescending to legacy Shopifolk, and make consistently bad/dev-hostile technical decisions Bleeding-edge AI adoption is being used to justify unreasonably increased expectations
