Pros

Bursting is going to bring the best of both worlds. I won't have to commute regularly but instead spend 25 days with colleagues in special destinations to collaborate, align and build a meaningful connection. The company has a vision for remote work that is environmentally friendly and human. The work we do feels meaningful and the people there are great!

Cons

Changes occur all the time at Shopify. We have to thrive on change and if we need stability in every aspects of our lives then it won't be a good spot to work at.

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
