Pros

You get to work on a great product. Shopify does do pretty solid work. There are a few cool people working there

Cons

Salaries are very low Managers are inexperienced, egotistical, and have a superficial understanding of topics. Very "cliquey" They expect you to work long hours, if you leave before 7PM, you can sense the passive-aggressiveness towards you Very few opportunities for career development Overall, it's your typical mid-sized company that's growing too fast and is trying to save money by overworking employees. Feels more like a high school than a professional company.

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

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
