Pros
- Typically, teammates collaborate well and are happy to help others - Good potential for career growth, depending on which team you land on - Perks are okay, also depending on where you live
Cons
- Culture is going down the drain ever since the move to remote, not because of the remote factor itself but because upper management has used the pandemic as an opportunity to start looking at employees as resources instead of human beings. - *Massive* echo chamber at the top, upper management feeds on the Shopify koolaid. Terrible culture-decisions being made that benefit only upper execs. - Lack of transparency; Town Halls and AMAs dodge questions they're not comfortable answering. - Too many stories of sudden layoffs and rapid changes made overnight - Growing too fast too quickly; all engineers spend too much time interviewing (several hours a week) due to the high attrition the company is having. Non-negotiable.
