Pros

Amazing work environment. Culture is deliberate and smart for the long-term. Neat industry and tech. Good people.

Cons

A few people are being crushed by incompetent engineering management. It is questionable that parts of the organization can scale. The crushed people are in the terrible position of feeling like they are wasting their time and skills but don't want to leave because they love Shopify.

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.
