Pros

Good people at IC level. Work from home Pay is ok

Cons

- Shopify has been consistently working to getting pay raises and promotions harder and more complicated while cutting down on employee benefits and perks. All the while they brag about how great they are doing. - With stack ranking added to the mix you are competing with your team mates whether or not you want to. - Senior leadership is completely out of touch with ICs. COO is the most hated person I have seen in a company. Tobi is a tyrant calling all the shots while claiming he just wants to be an AI engineer.

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
