Cons

* Depending of the team, lack of project management. Sometime you don't really know what your colleague are working on and what have to be done for the current project.

Pros

I was on the development team at Shopify -- and I looked forward to coming to work every day. I received fairly generous pay and benefits, and the work was interesting. But the thing I appreciated most was a manager that really cared about how I was doing, and gave me actionable feedback to help me improve. I felt like it was a great experience for developing my career. Among the other pluses are: - Worked 8 hours a day for the most part; people didn't care when as long as I showed up to meetings and got my work done. I personally felt no pressure to work longer hours. - Was never concerned with making money, only with delivering the best quality product - Great emphasis on craftsmanship and quality of product, everyone was very dedicated to this goal - An excellent CEO: technically skilled, visionary and inspiring. Tobi deserved to win CEO of the Year (Globe and Mail 2014)

Cons

It was sometimes difficult to communicate between teams, and sometimes the decision making process was a bit opaque (though upper management was remarkably transparent). Though developers are treated well, sales and support staff seemed get their jobs reduced to performance metrics (which are visible to everyone in the company) -- I don't know if I'd want to work in a job like that.
