Pros

Over the last 4 years, I have enjoyed building world-class Money products for Shopify merchants, in a fair and healthy environment. The company is not putting insane pressure on people, and trust them to devolve themselves to the mission in the respect of the personal lives.

Cons

Frontend stack is still young at Shopify and hasn't taken yet the room it deserves. Significant investments will mitigate this.

Pros

The most supported I have ever felt in a workplace. They also compensate and promote based on impact, not seniority or tenure, which means hard work actually gets recognized.

Cons

Hiring and firing process can take a significant amount of time. 1-3 months to move to a new position after applying, several strikes required before someone is fired.

Pros

Amazing culture Large scale Tons of projects Very talented people Offices are awesome Lots of room for growth Flexible hours World class technology ...

Cons

Since it's growing a lot lately feels like getting promoted is becoming harder and harder. Specially with a bunch of efforts to hire senior/leads instead of promoting people that are in the company for a long time.
