Pros

Shopify is a well known company that got me a ton of interest once I had it on my resume. Full remote was nice. There is opportunity to join different teams and groups, I knew a lot of people who did that which was nice if you want to try something different

Cons

Constant change and layoffs. I had 3 managers within 3 months. Multiple re-orgs and changes constantly in marketing. The company has no idea the value of new customers and is always changing KPIs and goals. Each marketing group is very Siloed so working cross function is very difficult. Pay was mediocre at best. You get a salary amount and can have it all be cash or split it with Equity and cash, unlike most public companies that do both. No ESPP, and Stock RSU amounts change each quarter with the share price, so no incentive to actually take any money in stock.

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
