Pros

Strong engineering and product culture with talented colleagues. Flexible remote work policies. Good autonomy and opportunities to tinker with state-of-the-art AI tooling. Technical challenges are interesting if you're early in your career.

Cons

Company is in cost-cutting, share price optimization mode. Slashed comp structures, wild org changes, role restructuring—all designed to limit upside and cut expenses. Revenue org got gutted: replaced individual quotas with team quotas, destroying earning potential for top performers—my potential comp is dropping by at least $50k CAD despite positive "Mastery" rating and strong performance. Benefits getting trimmed, salaries squeezed, constant reorganizations that conveniently cap compensation growth. New customer pipeline is bone dry—mature market, limited growth opportunities. Career progression unclear unless you pivot to management. No path to meaningful comp growth, external hires get way more than internal folks.

Pros

The people and the product are both hard to beat

Cons

Shopify overhauls their internal processes and GTM at least twice a year and it's extremely disruptive. We can't get in the swing of things because processes change so often. It's hard to measure whether something is working well or not when it changes before anyone is comfortable with it.

Pros

None left other than remote

Cons

Too many to list - there's a reason they fired half their sales leadership team. Too little too late. Only came after all the top ICs either burnt out or left
