Pros

People seem to really care about their work at all levels. There is so much ambition, talent, and brains in the company, and I feel like Shopify gives a fair amount of flexibility for people to use their skills to grow and benefit the company.

Cons

Doesn't feel as much like a start up anymore with the amount of people working there. You don't really feel like you know everyone in the lunchroom anymore.

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
