Pros

I've worked at Shopify for over 4 years now but the impact it has had on my development both personal and professional as been so much more. Between the challenging problems we get to solve, the incredible mentors within the company, book suggestions, coaches, and even the ability to build your own department if you have an idea that works (which is what I did), Shopify doesn't see a ceiling to your growth and always pushes you to be your best self.

Cons

Work life balance is tough, but it is within your control. I have come to realize as a lead when I tell my people to go home, we don't work extra hours because we have to, 98% of the time its because we care so deeply, love what we are doing and want to. Personally, I really don't mind that :)

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
