Pros

Okay perks Okay pay Interesting projects

Cons

Horrible leadership Clueless execs gaslighting employees, constant lies, promises not kept. No transparency. Constant reorgs. PIP culture. Senior management forces negative performance rating quotas. Avoid this company if at all possible, it will crush your soul and it will damage your mental health with pressure, constant stress, toxic positivity, etc. Execs really have no clue what they are doing, it seems. No realistic growth opportunities nowadays.

Pros

* there are a lot of inspiring long timers who almost all have genuine enthusiasm, patience and deep domain knowledge. These people are inspiring * Shopify's stated goal is more or less its actual goal. It makes money when its merchants prosper. * it's fun when you can ship something that will operate at this scale

Cons

* we seem to be losing our long timers * company seems too big to have interesting culture * constant cheerleading, internal marketing/spin and hype * no bad news ever reported * not as rigorous about internal fairness (including fairness for marginalized groups) as is advertised * the company is trending towards the default social conservativism of "you can believe whatever you want, but you can't talk about it at work" - the sort of thing that works out great for the overwhelming white, male leadership
