Pros
Funny title but you know it’s true. I’ve worked a lot of different places and a common theme I see is that employees are not entrusted with much. Not at Shopify, because here you encouraged to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. Since the growth is so rapid, there is so much opportunity to contribute.
Cons
Not for everyone which is why the recruiting process is very intentional and methodological. This isn’t a true con, but it’s something to need to be aware of. If you are not comfortable with change or seeing things differently with new perspectives then it may not be a good fit for you.
