Don’t Fall For The Fake Promises - Remote Guru Shopify Employee Review

Yeesh - I get the impression that you did not like working with Shopify! I do appreciate that you took the time to post a comment though as it does give me the opportunity to make a few brief points in response. Shopify is not for everyone - and that is OK. We work hard to always employ the right person in the right role. Whilst you may not have enjoyed the Guru role, there are many people for whom being a Shopify Guru is the perfect job. If you realize that Shopify is not for you, we would prefer to part on good terms than have you stay an employee and be unhappy with your career choice. It seems like your issue with Shopify was driven in part by a poor relationship with your squad lead. Please note that as an employer we do take bullying seriously and if your squad lead has a ‘vendetta’ against you there are actions that can be taken. I appreciate that this is of little help to you now, but please know that if anyone else is in your situation there is support they can access through their HR Business Partner. Lastly, I wanted to highlight that the figure you quoted refers to the fact that on Black Friday Cyber Monday 2017 Shopify processed over $1 Billion in sales for our merchants. It is worth noting that this figure was revenue generated by merchants who use the Shopify platform not Shopify itself... and what an amazing achievement to be able to facilitate a success of this magnitude for so many other businesses in one single day! Shopify is an employer who truly values our employees and one of the ways we demonstrate this is through offering competitive compensation packages which include a range of perks and benefits you receive throughout the year and which you may not find at other employers. I wish you all the best with your future endeavours.
