Pros

- Loads of opportunity within the organization, everywhere, if you are bold enough to blaze the trails - Lots of support given to employees through resources (conference budget, development library, talent acceleration coaches) - Probably depends on your manager, but on the whole there just isn't micro-managing; instead, there is a lot of trust placed in people - We are really well supported from a personal standpoint as well - yoga, meditation, bike tuneups, great food + drink, great health benefits + more

Cons

- If you can't operate with uncertainty and chaos and don't have the tools to seek support internally at Shopify so you can get better at this, then it might be a tough place to work - The framework is provided, but you really can't wait for someone to tell you what's next...(which is actually more of a pro, but it's a follow up to the last point so I listed it here)

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

Legacy Shopify ICs and lower-level managers are excellent and generally quite nice (company's Canadian after all) Caliber of engineering talent is generally high Dev-friendly stack (Ruby/Rails) Bleeding-edge AI adoption with unlimited token budget

Cons

Recently brought over a CTO from Microsoft: he brought with him a lot of not-at-all-nice people who are highly political, frequently rude/condescending to legacy Shopifolk, and make consistently bad/dev-hostile technical decisions Bleeding-edge AI adoption is being used to justify unreasonably increased expectations
