Pluspunten

The company overall is an exciting one, very casual. The opportunity to work from home is great. The benefits are great and the salary is not bad - although the guru role should definitely be paid more! While I realize it's an entry level job, it's very stressful dealing with merchants all day!

Minpunten

Shopify is obsessed with reaching targets and will push to the point of breaking with guru's. Burn out is quick. One 30 minute break in an 8 hour day is not enough. While they stress that personal life balance is important, it really isn't attainable, as most, if not all guru's are putting in extra time to finish their work. The end of day 30 minute personal queue where you are wrapping up your days' tickets is simply not long enough, and it's a stressful scramble to finish. Every day. There is also an irritating juvenile environment - staff is young and it can feel like high school. Squad leads are young and pushy - there is a big competitive environment underlying all the teams. It's not healthy.

Pluspunten

- Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

Minpunten

- Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
