Pros

-Working at Shopify opens a lot of doors when trying to find a new job -Great people and fun company events

Cons

-extremely low pay if you’ve been there for more than a year. -pay gap across teams is INSANE. I’ve seen a someone get paid $100k OTE and $230k OTE on the same team!! -no path to promotion. You can technically get “promoted” but Shopify won’t increase your pay, so it’s essentially pointless -audit process is extremely unfair. If you accidentally enter in a number wrong your entire opportunity is deleted and won’t count towards your quota. I’ve never seen a company try so hard to not pay their employees

Pros

Great benefits, nice team mates, opportunities to up-skill.

Cons

Very stressful. They treat burnout as normal. Constantly under pressure to do three chats at once. Micromanaged at every second. Frequent performance reviews. Need to brown nose in order to move to a different role.

Good benefit package. Coworkers are great.

Communication and project management is poor. Teams are removed without a plan which leads to Inconsistent knowledge management. Constant changes in how teams are managed resulting in a lack of consistency.
