Pros

- Shopify values impact and that is not a buzz word here; it is well defined and measured. - Have both a technical career path and people lead one that complement each other. As an individual contributor you don't feel the pressure to switch to a people lead role to progress in your career. - The company feels young in lots of ways. Red tape hasn't reached lots of places yet and expect lots of changes all the time. - Excellent work life balance. They embraced remote work with great emphasis on doing this asynchronously (chat, emails, recorded vids) instead of synchronously.

Cons

- There is red tape but it is well hidden. If you encountered it, you're on your own. - Change is good but too much of it is just too much. This can happen sometimes. - The CEO can suddenly come in and rip apart a project that has been in the works for weeks/months and was approved by others in senior management.
