Toxic, narcissistic, and fake leadership

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

-Remote -WFH setup -Nice peers (trauma bonded though)

Cons

I’ve worked for a range of different big and small companies over the past decade and this is definitely most toxic environment I’ve ever been in. Normally, you have a honeymoon phase at the start of a job and love everything, but I could tell something was off from Day 1. The leadership is toxic and will burn you out. They’ll notice you’re working late hours constantly, but will turn a blind eye and won’t care when you flag it. They’ll call you horrible names and make inappropriate comments (always verbally so that there’s no written record) that leave your friends and family shocked about how a company enables this. They’re narcissistic and have high egos as well, so they’ll take any chance to put you down if it helps to cover themselves. Honestly, I don’t know how else to describe a lot of the leaders I’ve encountered here on the marketing side other than being pure evil. If you’re a terrible human, this is the place to work because Shopify clearly allows these types of people to thrive without any consequences!

Not Bad

Business Outlook

Pros

Good engineering processes and nice opportunity to work with (mostly) great and talented coworkers.

Cons

Pay is just OK for the amount of work. Senior Leadership could be better. Culture has degraded over the years.
