Pros

At Shopify, you are given the freedom to be yourself at work. There is very little red tape or barriers to prevent you from doing your best work. You are constantly being pushed to learn and grow both professionally and personally. I can honestly say I have learned more in the 3 years I've worked here than in the last 10 anywhere else. Employees are valued based on impact and there is a ton of opportunity for career growth.

Cons

I will never be able to work anywhere else.

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
