      Pros

      Lots of benefit to work for this company. People are very nice usually. You can learn lots of things,

      Cons

      The company itself has changed and become more corporate which cares number and performance a lot. They have recently been laying off lots of people. It’s so sad to see people suddenly disappeared on slack without any official good bye. not really sure if it’s actually true or not, but someone said they hired too many people and business didn’t grow as they expected, so they did it. Management of the organization can be very poor depends on the team since they are hiring lots of new people. Especially international team, one person lied off just after a few months having got hired.

      Strong enduring culture. Three strong C-level execs. Challenging IC/midlevel environment

      Pros

      All the perks you need Proactively competitive on salary and benefits, they don't screw around Amazon-like autonomy for individuals Industry that everyone knows, with real people for customers you can talk to in basically any city Strong design sensibility and commitment Strong development/individual growth policy, if unevenly implemented due to weak middle management. Very strong CEO, CPO and COO (IMO), no opinion on CFO and others.

      Cons

      Some level of constant chaos, between a startup and an enterprise. Shopify is trying to figure it out but failing at establishing a logical, consistent approach to strategy and alignment. Lots of decision by individual opinion; politicking; backchannelling. Politics and cliques among the establishment middle management, e.g. directors/GM's and the people they've carted along with them for a long time-a form of nepotism. Engineering and data are a bit of a mess at an overall level and especially at mid-management, despite lots of awesome IC's and leads.
