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.

1. Extremely flexible environment 2. Lot of interesting problems to work on 3. Very smart colleagues to work with
Cons
1. My immediate manager's actions were arbitrary (did not get good clarity on end goals or what was expected of me) 2. Never got to have a conversation with my skip manager as he was too busy
