Pros

Competitive salary & Compensation flexibility

Cons

The culture (or lack thereof) is toxic and management lacks any sense of empathy. The company has an adversarial view of its employees. It’s clear that Shopify has over hired/compensated post-pandemic and have also taken a strong POV towards AI replacing its workforce. The company is intentionally making work miserable/upping the pressure & demands so that they do not need to do public layoffs and instead would rather employees burnout, have mental breakdowns, and leave on their own accord.

Pros

Working at Shopify from 2015-2019 was incredible. There was a lot of room for growth with great pay and the ability to work remote.

Cons

Post 2020, the company felt incredibly corporate. What was once a startup culture based on mutual respect and responsibility turned into a lot of closed door politics. After the mass layoffs in 2022/2023 the culture changed significantly. Communication across teams became secretive as everyone was afraid of protecting their work or losing their job. Many long term, higher performing employees were laid off because of how it was handled with an algorithm - simply because they were in roles that were either "duplicate" on paper or that management had over hired for when times were good and they were ambitious about growth.
