      Good product, bad company culture

      Pros

      You get to work on a great product. Shopify does do pretty solid work. There are a few cool people working there

      Cons

      Salaries are very low Managers are inexperienced, egotistical, and have a superficial understanding of topics. Very "cliquey" They expect you to work long hours, if you leave before 7PM, you can sense the passive-aggressiveness towards you Very few opportunities for career development Overall, it's your typical mid-sized company that's growing too fast and is trying to save money by overworking employees. Feels more like a high school than a professional company.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Transparency (monthly AMAs with the CEO). Accolades (company bonus system based on employee voting). Technical focus (CEO still codes and comments on PRs). Strong focus on simplicity (everyone will challenge you to find a simpler solution). Amazing perks (lunches are really good). Exceptional staff in all departments. Flexible hours (generally 10-5, work from home if sick).

      Cons

      More work than can be completed. You need a strong lead to deflect work and focus on quality. Young employees. Can make it more challenging to connect if you are 30+ Inexperienced staff. Reinventing the wheel a lot. (not so much bigco cargo culting though) High expectations and stress that goes with it. Burnout is probably more likely here than usual. Remote offices don't get treated equally. Move to Ottawa if you can, great city.

      Always Learning & Always being Challenged = Awesome

      Pros

      - challenging work environment - ongoing learning opportunities - great management who have hands on experience - quarterly2-day hack days for the whole company - amazing perks & benefits (not just the normal "startup" perks - little things throughout the year just because really make you feel rewarded

      Cons

      - a little chaotic at times - even with hundreds of people it still has a startup feel - sometimes you have to jump outside of your comfort zone to work on projects not currently being focused on
