Pros

- Awesome computer set up - Training was pleasant - People were nice - Cool product

Cons

- Not flexible, hours are confusing - Have to chat a "Lead" to let them know your even going to the BATHROOM. In your own home... or a 5 minute breather. - Stressful - Actually Customer Support with a little bit of Inbound Sales. NOT Customer Success (You are not mapped to certain customers, you just have one offs.) - No room to expand into other teams. Remote is only support. - Interview process was a nightmare.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

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
