* Great benefits and employee are well taken care of
* Great project to work on with possibility to move from a project to another so you don't get bored
Cons
* Depending of the team, lack of project management. Sometime you don't really know what your colleague are working on and what have to be done for the current project.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Our HR and culture teams value your insight as we strive to improve life at Shopify.
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
