Pros

Open culture, safe to fail

Cons

Some people’s entitled attitude gets in the way of the work. They seem to rate the free food higher than the great opportunity.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. I’m glad you feel positive about the culture and feel safe to fail. It sounds like you feel well supported in your role. Since one of our rules of engagement is to show humility, not entitlement, I can understand your frustration. All of us at Shopify have a responsibility to uphold these rules and it’s okay to remind others.

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
