Pros

* Shopify provides an amazing environment for experimenting with ideas and technologies. * Things move at a very fast pace and there is lots to learn! * People are genuinely passionate about what they're working on - also knowledge about their area. * Professional (and personal) growth is stressed, and there are perks to help along. * Shopify has a data-driven culture, and directions change quickly (and smoothly) based on data evidence

Cons

I can't really think of any downsides, except that as the company grows larger, there is bound to be a shift in culture. I really hope the current culture can be maintained as it's unbelievable good.

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
