Moves fast, growing industry. Cares about customers

No clear defined role, ambiguous and moves too fast at times to get things done properly.

Hey, thanks for the review! Things do move fast here sometimes; commerce is ever-changing and we have to change even faster to accommodate! It can sometimes get overwhelming though, so it's important to recognise when it reaches that point so leadership can help. I'd encourage reaching out to your lead or your HR partner to have a chat about how we can slow things down if you feel things are moving too fast! This may also help you get a clearer understanding of your role if there is some ambiguity there. Everyone should know what is expected of them in their role, and understand how Shopify is there to help them manage those expectations. Thank you 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
