Pros

Shopify is a well known company that got me a ton of interest once I had it on my resume. Full remote was nice. There is opportunity to join different teams and groups, I knew a lot of people who did that which was nice if you want to try something different

Cons

Constant change and layoffs. I had 3 managers within 3 months. Multiple re-orgs and changes constantly in marketing. The company has no idea the value of new customers and is always changing KPIs and goals. Each marketing group is very Siloed so working cross function is very difficult. Pay was mediocre at best. You get a salary amount and can have it all be cash or split it with Equity and cash, unlike most public companies that do both. No ESPP, and Stock RSU amounts change each quarter with the share price, so no incentive to actually take any money in stock.

Pros

- decent culture built around supporting entrepreneurship - availability of AI tooling - fully remote

Cons

- low and non-competitive pay compared to other tech companies - backwards comp and impact system they think is "innovative" and unique, but it's really just a system to keep comp and titles capped
