Pros

-Working at Shopify opens a lot of doors when trying to find a new job -Great people and fun company events

Cons

-extremely low pay if you’ve been there for more than a year. -pay gap across teams is INSANE. I’ve seen a someone get paid $100k OTE and $230k OTE on the same team!! -no path to promotion. You can technically get “promoted” but Shopify won’t increase your pay, so it’s essentially pointless -audit process is extremely unfair. If you accidentally enter in a number wrong your entire opportunity is deleted and won’t count towards your quota. I’ve never seen a company try so hard to not pay their employees

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

- Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

Cons

- Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
