Pros

The pay is good, and there are good bonuses and perks. There is no work/life balance, be prepared! You will be scheduled to work 7 days straight! You will not have the same days off in a month.

Cons

The schedule is garbage! Be prepared to work 7 days straight! There is no consistency in the schedule. Every week will be different. You will never have the same days off within a month. I sometimes get 1 day off in a week! As oppose to EVERY company in Canada....you get ONE 30 minute lunch break in an 8 hour shift, that is it.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

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
