Pros

The internal staff that Shopify hires are largely top-notch folks. Peers are awesome and most of the team leads know what they're doing. The work is pretty straightforward but can get draining if you don't find your own balance. Benefits are pretty solid though. I'd think that beyond the Support role you'd be able to find a deeper sense of purpose in your work.

Cons

Massive layoffs can happen any time, and work gets challenging when working with contract staff who don't provide high quality work for the merchants. It's also hard to develop a routine in Support as you're put into shift work so you end up starting/ending at different times throughout the week. Within the day there is also no fixed structure so it's hard to accomplish deep work. The company structure also feels messy when providing feedback up to Senior management - most of the time the feedback gets brushed aside and we're not given insight into why change cannot be implemented even when it seems to help the company. Opportunity for progression is hard to come by, and I've seen so many peers who are great at their jobs leave the company because they feel stuck in the same role even after many years of being high performers.

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

- 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
