Pluspunten

The offices are beautiful, the in house food and perks are lavish. They make everything as streamlined and effortless as possible. For someone just starting out or looking for an internship, it could be a fun place to work.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, it was a toxic work environment. Many people were on the verge of burnout, fearful of losing their jobs, under constant criticism. Competition to be visible and popular was high. It was sad to see how they treated some people and the damage it did to their health, families and careers.

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

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

Minpunten

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
