Pros

fast paced, you learn a lot about doing more with less and scaling monolithic applications, which is a transferable skill to other companies.

Cons

Shopify nowadays has a big issue on politics. Most orgs are fighting for budget and trying to impress Tobi. When something goes wrong, upper management goes into a firing spree, trying to find scape goats. If you do not enjoy working 12-14 hour days or working few weekends every month, chances are you are not going to enjoy working here.
