Pluspunten

All the perks you need Proactively competitive on salary and benefits, they don't screw around Amazon-like autonomy for individuals Industry that everyone knows, with real people for customers you can talk to in basically any city Strong design sensibility and commitment Strong development/individual growth policy, if unevenly implemented due to weak middle management. Very strong CEO, CPO and COO (IMO), no opinion on CFO and others.

Minpunten

Some level of constant chaos, between a startup and an enterprise. Shopify is trying to figure it out but failing at establishing a logical, consistent approach to strategy and alignment. Lots of decision by individual opinion; politicking; backchannelling. Politics and cliques among the establishment middle management, e.g. directors/GM's and the people they've carted along with them for a long time-a form of nepotism. Engineering and data are a bit of a mess at an overall level and especially at mid-management, despite lots of awesome IC's and leads.

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
