Pros

Shopify is a phenomenal workplace. The standards that all employees place on themselves is high, with strong encouragement and resources in place to help you succeed in whatever you apply yourself to. They recognize high achievement quickly, promote from within, and listen to employee feedback and suggestions at all levels. The culture at Shopify is like no other workplace I've ever experienced in 20 years working. The diversity, and openness of the entire company to its employees is a change that more companies can benefit from. From the outside, it might appear as immature at times (what other company has a go-kart track in its office) but I have never worked with more dedicated, industrious, caring and determined co-workers. I would highly recommend the job to anyone who has the drive to work hard in an environment that encourages growth both personally and professionally, and is willing to set new goals every single day.

Cons

Very few - at times, the remote employees might need to practice a bit of extra self-motivation to avoid distraction. But that's not really a reflection of the company in any way.

It's really hard to do better than this.

Pros

- Surrounded by smart, talented, and motivated people. - Autonomy to get your work done in the way that works for you (MOST of the time - see Cons). - Great perks, benefits, catering. - Transition from private to public company has been handled really well, with little to no impact on culture.

Cons

- Compensation isn't great (it pays the bills, but it isn't amazing) - Aspects of management are becoming one-size-fits-all - from a team cohesion standpoint it makes sense, but I was promised flexibility if I was getting my work done, and it didn't quite play out like that in reality.

Pros

The culture is amazing, all employees, even interns, feel really empowered to do great things. They really want us to develop to our full potential and there is a lot of focus on sharing and learning. They also trust everyone 100% and are absolutely transparent.

Cons

They empower and give us all the resources we need, but you still need a lot of self-confidence to take initiatives, ask for help and such. It might be a tad more difficult if you are an introvert at first, but people are so nice and helpful it goes away. The only problem might be when you approach Shopify for a job, you'll have to put yourself out there. An advice, don`t be scared to be yourself, as long as you are passionate and speak from the hearth. After all, Tobi our ceo says he is an introverted too!
