Pros

Great culture if you live in Canada and work in one of their offices. For the most part they treat their employees well.

Cons

Working remotely is not the best if you are looking for future opportunities within the company. Lots of very young leads and very little executive management with much relevant experience. It is very clicky and everyone operates and works in silos.

Pros

I've been with Shopify for 4.5 years and I've held numerous positions here. The opportunity for growth is amazing, as long as you put the work in and show your drive and level of impact.

Cons

There are definitely growing pains from "the good old days" but honestly... there aren't many cons. This company treats their employees exceptionally well.

Pros

Great benefits, you can make a lot of good friends, working remotely is nice. They supply you with all the equipment you need etc. Good raises.

Cons

There is the whole"drink the kool-aid" vibe... Certain roles are extremely tedious and dont pay nearly enough. Other jobs are very overcompensated which leads to frustrations. Growing pains - growing too fast with a very little direction in some departments.
