Pros

Exciting place if you don’t mind chaos and top down micromanagement. Culture varies a lot by team. Decision-making feels arbitrary at times.

Cons

People seem to just vanish out of the blue. Shopify does reorgs constantly and with it, seem to let go of good people without cause or explanation. Culture of fear is not a good look.

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.
