Pros

This is usually specific to teams, but Shopify is built on supporting their people. I can honestly say that Shopify is active in the fight against COVID and active in the support against anti-black racism. Culture is great, and people are fantastic.

Cons

As the company grows there can sometimes be blindspots as it concerns people, but it's something that the company acknowledges and is working on.

Hey, there! Thank you for taking some time to leave a review. During these trying times, we need to work together to do what is best for everyone. Once we learned about Covid-19, Shopify worked hard to find a solution that would allow us to work efficiently and to keep our employees safe. Going digital by default allows us to change the way we work to reflect and match the rest of the world as everyone adapts to a new normal. To touch on diversity, Shopify believes the future includes more voices in tech and entrepreneurship. We are working on building a global culture of belonging. We want to ensure that everyone at Shopify feels included, valued, and heard. There is no culture without inclusivity. We can understand the discomfort that comes along with growth in a company. From a small company that has grown the way Shopify has, we understand that there will be bumps along the way. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to share your 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
