Pros

Stock options and Benefits were good

Cons

Everything else. 3 Chats concurrently, plus maybe more depending if you have to speak to another team. 3 Separate issues. Have 50 million windows open. High stress. Expect to leave work on Friday and have no job on Monday for no reason. Their CEO is a Nazi.

Great product, volatile employment

Pros

- Very good total comp and benefits - Flexibility to choose how much comp to allocate toward salary or equity - Building a great product for merchants - Even though company stock can be volatile, they're doing smart things and including AI in the product wisely. Shopify is really well positioned for long-term growth and success.

Cons

- Constant turbulence, constant reorgs. - No job stability. Teammates will disappear without warning, whole teams or disciplines are affected by mass layoffs. - Performance review tools encourage you rate your peers against each other. - Do not expect career leveling opportunities, growth from IC to manager, etc. You may get raises every couple review cycles, but movement beyond that is extremely rare. - Unless you enjoy using AI for every single thing you do, this is not the place for you. They're 100% in on AI, which is great if that's where you want to grow, but you'll also see it replacing teammates in real time.
