Pros

Worked with some great people Learned about large scale software deployment

Cons

Self involved CEO that puts out monthly "town halls" that consist of nothing but him being interviewed by his direct reports stroking his ego Senior leadership that doesn't care about hiring and firing thousands of people. COO said one month before I was laid off there will be no more layoffs, these things aren't just decided with a day's notice.

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.
