Pros

Huge organization, explosive growth Lots of internal / lateral movement. Great support for personal spend / resources.

Cons

Unqualified people get major and unjustified promotions. Poor leadership. A lot of normal, unimpressive people claiming they are 'innovative' solely because they work at Shopify. Very frustrating environment for anyone who is actually good at their job and wants to have an impact. Once stock options vest- the pay is terrible.

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.
