Pluspunten

Product is world class. Some very brilliant, talented people working there

Minpunten

The organizational culture is defined by a lack of trust and employee value, where staff are treated as interchangeable assets rather than key contributors. Following several rounds of layoffs, there is a significant trust deficit regarding the SLT, ELT, and CEO. A lack of transparency and integrity in executive decision-making has created a high-pressure environment where job insecurity often drives counterproductive behaviors and internal politics as people struggle to maintain their roles. Furthermore, the company views the sales department primarily as a cost center rather than a strategic area for investment. Because the product is strong, leadership neglects the development of the sales org, offering minimal resources for professional growth or skill-building. Ambitious sales professionals will likely find the environment stagnant, as recognition and support are generally limited to one’s relationship with their direct manager rather than being reflected in the broader company culture. I would not recommend hungry, aspiring sales professionals work here.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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

Pluspunten

The work itself is genuinely exciting. Shopify is doing cutting-edge work in AI search visibility and GEO that very few companies are touching at this scale. The tooling is excellent, the problems are interesting, and the peers are talented, collaborative, and generous with their time. If you're passionate about where search is heading, the craft-level work here is hard to beat.

Minpunten

The management experience on the Growth Marketing / SEO team did not match the quality of the work. Feedback was inconsistent (positive in meetings, critical in private messages) which made it difficult to know where you actually stood. Issues that were never flagged in real time were later consolidated into a formal performance document, which felt predetermined rather than developmental. When I raised concerns professionally about the communication dynamic, the relationship shifted noticeably. I've spoken to others who experienced a similar pattern on this team. The culture says it values direct feedback, but in practice, giving feedback upward was treated very differently than receiving it.
