Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! It's so great to hear you enjoy your role. We understand how important it is that you are surrounded by good people in a positive work environment. We’re building a company where everyone has the potential to have a positive impact on our business. This includes everything from our products to our technology to our people. Putting care into everything we do will benefit everyone in the long run, both inside and outside Shopify! As I'm sure you've experienced yourself, our company has doubled in size over 2018/19 and is still growing. This means we need to keep up with that growth internally to make sure we are all on the same page! This is great feedback for us to take on-board, so thank you for being so open. Thanks again for the review!

Pros

- Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

Cons

- Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
