Pros

Your role at Shopify is yours for the making. Which is truly the best part of the company culture. Shopify values, and encourages the growth of their employees. They offer great perks, salaries and benefits. Incredibly talented R&D team, and great vision by Tobi and the leadership.

Cons

As with any growth company, there are bound to be growing pains. During my time at Shopify the Product team was a work in progress. Often cycling through leadership, they struggled to implement Product Managers into R&D teams, and often promoted employees who weren't equipped for the role.

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
