Pros

There hasn't been any lately. One time I would rave to family and friends about Shopify but it's nothing but back-tracking and censorship.

Cons

Highly censored, they regularly lock threads if people express concerns. Constantly promise exciting changes only to backtrack at the last minute. Low morale everywhere, senior leadership make everything more difficult by the day.

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
