Great leadership team, ability to move internally to experience different teams and challenges, flexible remote work policy.

Frequent change and re-organizations can mean your direct manager will change every few years.

Pros

Okay life work balance if you are on the right team. Pay is okay if you joined at the right time.

Cons

Data science is second class citizens at Shopify. You are hired for your ML skills but you will be asked to do BI work and work on adhoc analysis all the time. CEO spent a weekend learning python, smart as he (thinks) he is, he now knows everything data science. Thus he concluded data scientists are useless.
