Pros
I moved to Shopify after years at a FAANG company in California. I see a lot of the pros that I liked about my previous company - smart people, focus on impact, transparent and open culture, solving hard problems, etc. I also found a much much better work/life balance here and a greater emphasis on investing in employee development and learning.
Cons
Comp is less than you could get at FAANG companies in California, but that's a tradeoff I was okay with for much better quality of life inside and outside of work
