Pros

- work life balance - skilled coworkers - opportunities to learn and grow - can collaborate with people on and outside of your team - they provide $$ and equipment to help with home office setup, which is great cause we're remote - no commute - opportunities to travel with team to meet irl.

Cons

- monolith that takes a while to build and run locally, and hard to get it working consistently with thousands of devs committing code - worried that hiring too quickly will change culture

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.
