Minpunten
The managers are in general very young (below 30 yrs old) and inexperienced. They show clear favoritism based on if you like the same things. Reorg happens every few months and your team members disappear suddenly (fired) on a regular basis. Very chaotic and things keep changing and they are so proud of this being part of the culture 'thriving on change'. It's okay that many companies are operating this way, but the rate of change at Shopify makes it very hard to keep up with the current state of things, the current way to do things, the metaphor of the month, etc. There's almost an expectation for you to spend time outside of working keeping up with this - listening to podcasts, watching talks, reading books. Culture is set by those who live and breathe Shopify, whose sense of work-life balance takes a back seat to their investment in the company. External hires are paid way higher than current employees. The managers and HRs refused to admit. When turnover is obviously so high and we had to spend so much time interviewing new people and HRs keep saying it's normal.
