Pros

There is a big culture of learning and self-development at Shopify. Everyone is encouraged to learn new skills and technologies and there is a whole area of the company dedicated to coaching - want to get better at leading people? There's a coach for that. When I started I didn't know Ruby, Rails, React, or really any of the primary technologies that Shopify uses. I was a little worried about this. But my first four weeks were dedicated to learning everything I needed to know - free courses, etc. Moreover, the assumption was that it would take me a while to get up to speed. Probably the best onboarding that I've experienced in my nearly 20 yr career. As someone who would classify themselves as a life-long-learner, Shopify is an amazing employer.

Cons

Things change pretty quickly here. If you like predictable, Shopify may not be for you.

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
