Pros

Great people and great work environment.

Cons

Every job has a con, but Shopify's cons are very different depending on the person. No one area stands out as being bad for everyone.

Pros

Based on my limited research, appears to pay above market, and has some perks that are less common in the region.

Cons

The company is very much a monoculture, and lacks a lot of diversity (in terms of gender and race). There is often a large difference between the values that it touts, and the expectations that are held. There is a lot of opportunity to make change... but only if you can navigate the various barriers and implicit constraints.

Pros

Fun work environment with some really great people who are passionate about what they do. Great benefits - great offices - I've made a lot of friendships that will last a long time.

Cons

There seems to be a strong sense of entitlements within the company (employees expecting people to clean up after them, baby them, etc.) - especially with the long-term employees. Unfortunately there are also many cliques. Lots of problems aren't addressed in the right way, but for example through witch-hunts over Slack (the internal method of communication). Even though the internal message is that 'career changes are encouraged' it is a very difficult and confusing process and I never felt like I had the support from my manager to pursue a career change.
