      Pros

      Founder/CEO is committed to transparency, gives honest answers and shares decisions quickly Eng culture and employees are amazing

      Cons

      Mandatory work-from-home is rough for those of us who liked the office, but understandable given COVID

      Hey, there! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are thankful to have a CEO who is vulnerable and honest. Transparency is important in a company if you’re looking to grow and scale like Shopify is. Shopify prides itself on having a healthy culture and working environment for Shopify employees. We are so glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying your experience here at Shopify. We hear you. This year has been challenging. The Shopify offices were a great addition to our workspaces. However, going digital by default means that we can take advantage of virtual meetings, and use our side-kick program to connect with different people and teams around the globe. Again, thank you for sharing about your experience.

      Pros

      - Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

      Cons

      - Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
