Pros

- D90 is a cool quarterly perk - the people are smart - cool company to sell/easy product - unlimited vacation time

Cons

- comp plan/contract changes at any time without consent and HR is non responsive - capped/conditional/unpaid bonuses - deal audit and ROE (50% they take it away your deal) - decelerators until hitting 80% quota - annual quota Shopifolk only get OTE regardless of accelerators. Your payout will be end of January the following year - expects sales hunters to hunt for new business but blocks access to all sales tools (except Linkedin and Salesloft) - horrible retention and hiring over 16 months - unrealistic targets that make no sense - less and less diversity/inclusion - cheap perks (small 401K contribution, $25 meals, expects employee contribution for insurance premiums) - promotions do not include raises (likely decreases) - Shopifolk on leave still get performance reviews (2/yr) - let’s go of all post sales support teams mid quarter and wants SE’s to be CS/implementation

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
