Pros

Everyone you work with will be exciting because they're smart and full of ideas. I work for a less structured team so there is a lot of sharing of ideas and collaboration. The best thing about working at Shopify is you will never be bored a day! My team members are all professional while still friendly and helpful. It's a very good work environment in terms of that!

Cons

Waterloo is far, but it's very worth it for the amazing work environment where you can learn tons very quickly.

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
