Pros

The marketing org has the best and smartest people I have ever worked with. Everyone is kind, helpful and overall wants everyone to do well. Remote work if you’re into that. Work life balance is not bad.

Cons

The executive leadership is the worst I’ve ever seen. They don’t take accountability for anything remotely not great. A bunch of egomaniacs with no people skills whatsoever, except for Harley. Thank god they got rid of Kaz. There’s no room for growth in Marketing. Senior leadership can’t make decisions either and everyone has been there since their 20s and don’t know anything outside Shopify. Pay is pretty bad for NY standards, but being remote helps a little.

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
