Pros

The internal staff that Shopify hires are largely top-notch folks. Peers are awesome and most of the team leads know what they're doing. The work is pretty straightforward but can get draining if you don't find your own balance. Benefits are pretty solid though. I'd think that beyond the Support role you'd be able to find a deeper sense of purpose in your work.

Cons

Massive layoffs can happen any time, and work gets challenging when working with contract staff who don't provide high quality work for the merchants. It's also hard to develop a routine in Support as you're put into shift work so you end up starting/ending at different times throughout the week. Within the day there is also no fixed structure so it's hard to accomplish deep work. The company structure also feels messy when providing feedback up to Senior management - most of the time the feedback gets brushed aside and we're not given insight into why change cannot be implemented even when it seems to help the company. Opportunity for progression is hard to come by, and I've seen so many peers who are great at their jobs leave the company because they feel stuck in the same role even after many years of being high performers.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

Legacy Shopify ICs and lower-level managers are excellent and generally quite nice (company's Canadian after all) Caliber of engineering talent is generally high Dev-friendly stack (Ruby/Rails) Bleeding-edge AI adoption with unlimited token budget

Cons

Recently brought over a CTO from Microsoft: he brought with him a lot of not-at-all-nice people who are highly political, frequently rude/condescending to legacy Shopifolk, and make consistently bad/dev-hostile technical decisions Bleeding-edge AI adoption is being used to justify unreasonably increased expectations
