Pluspunten

Great opportunity to grow within the company in an exciting fast growing industry. Depending on your role there is work life balance. This particular role does not have work life balance.

Minpunten

Absolute unethical business practice in reference to compensation review and changes. This particular situation is unnerving: Individuals were hired internally; into a senior level role without change in title or compensation with no opportunity to evaluate. Creating a net new team in a power growth sector for Shopify. An exciting role that has grow to opportunities to be sure. However, the market value for the role is double what the internal hires are compensated. (whom received no compensation or title change). They were given no title/level change or compensation change; despite external hires coming in at double the salary for the same role. Leadership remains strong in their stance that opportunity for promotion/level/compensation change is once per year as per Shopify Structure during Performance Review period. However the increases that come during this review period are not sufficient enough to bring current employees at par with market value/new hires. Absolute bureaucracy blamed on ‘guiding principles’ and ‘corporate structure’ that has left this tea feeling humiliated and being taken advantage of.

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
