Pros

-Very few self serving, rude, or obnoxious people work here. -I work everyday with some of the most talented, creative, and intelligent people I've ever met in my life. -Coming to work has yet to ever feel like a drag (and I've spent years in other places knowing that feeling all too well) -My self improvement game is always on point here. Shopify has this way of fostering an environment where you want to become better, faster, stronger everyday. Professionally and personally. -This company has not only built an incredible company and product, but it builds amazing people too.

Cons

-Not really a con, but there is no "direct path" to anything at Shopify. It's all on you to build and create the path you want for yourself when it comes to promotions, projects etc. That comes with the high level of autonomy you receive here though.

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
