Pros

-Very few self serving, rude, or obnoxious people work here. -I work everyday with some of the most talented, creative, and intelligent people I've ever met in my life. -Coming to work has yet to ever feel like a drag (and I've spent years in other places knowing that feeling all too well) -My self improvement game is always on point here. Shopify has this way of fostering an environment where you want to become better, faster, stronger everyday. Professionally and personally. -This company has not only built an incredible company and product, but it builds amazing people too.

Cons

-Not really a con, but there is no "direct path" to anything at Shopify. It's all on you to build and create the path you want for yourself when it comes to promotions, projects etc. That comes with the high level of autonomy you receive here though.

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
