Pros

At Shopify, you are given the freedom to be yourself at work. There is very little red tape or barriers to prevent you from doing your best work. You are constantly being pushed to learn and grow both professionally and personally. I can honestly say I have learned more in the 3 years I've worked here than in the last 10 anywhere else. Employees are valued based on impact and there is a ton of opportunity for career growth.

Cons

I will never be able to work anywhere else.

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

Legacy Shopify ICs and lower-level managers are excellent and generally quite nice (company's Canadian after all) Caliber of engineering talent is generally high Dev-friendly stack (Ruby/Rails) Bleeding-edge AI adoption with unlimited token budget

Cons

Recently brought over a CTO from Microsoft: he brought with him a lot of not-at-all-nice people who are highly political, frequently rude/condescending to legacy Shopifolk, and make consistently bad/dev-hostile technical decisions Bleeding-edge AI adoption is being used to justify unreasonably increased expectations
