An Uninspired & Poorly Managed Shopify Agency

Pros

- Strong South American Dev and UX Talent - Large development team - Strong pipeline of Shopify Plus clients

Cons

The management is an absolute disaster. There is no company culture—employees barely know each other, and there are almost zero interaction points. It’s a revolving door of hires and firings, with no real strategy or support in place. I was hired to replace someone who was let go, only to be let go myself. The person hired to replace me? Also let go. It’s a pattern. They have no grasp of capacity planning, and onboarding is practically nonexistent. Instead of setting people up for success, they push them into chaotic, unsupported roles and then blame them for "performance issues" when things inevitably go wrong. The agency itself operates like two separate companies, and one half runs on a shady deal within Shopify’s partner program—a loophole they exploited when the agency first started. There are multiple owners (four, I think?), but you’ll rarely see them. One was on my only 30-minute interview and then ghosted entirely, except for weekly meetings where he sat in the background with his camera off, contributing nothing. Unless you’re one of the born-on-third-base owners or a dev, this place isn’t a long-term solution. If you value stability, culture, or even basic managerial support, stay far away.

Pros

Outside of working remotely, nothing.

Cons

This is probably one of the worst companies I've ever worked for. Very low pay, and they're able to overwork their staff under the guise of paying them a salary of $1250 every two weeks. If you speak up about any issues they will retaliate and fire you.
