Pros

- One of the best company cultures I have ever worked with -- positive, mission-driven, growth mindset oriented - Remote only allows everyone the flexibility to work where they want without concern for missing out by not being in the office - Rails / Ruby development is a joy to work with - Great work life balance

Cons

- Compensation is lower than competitive FAANG companies - Career progression is not clearly defined, performance reviews are lacking structure - Development practices are not as strong / rigid / consistent across the company - Remote can get a bit lonely if you don't seek out the appropriate amount of social time that you may need

Pros

Base pay is on the higher end for the role

Cons

The new commission structure is among the lowest in the industry. You essentially get your commission paid out in tiny increments spread out quarterly over three years. If the merchant ever leaves Shopify, or goes out of business, you leave or get fired, in that time you lose all payouts.
