Shopify Reviews

Pros

A company that encourages you to learn and push yourself further every day. It values ownership, accountability, learning and thriving on change.

Cons

Work environment can get somewhat stressful from time to time.

Pros

Awesome Training, Benefits and company to work for. Squads are very close and easy to collaboratively work with. Good growth opportunities at the time.

Cons

Remote working can be hard, more Pop-Up events to hang out with work mates. G

Pros

Benefits package is very good, however it doesn't include vision for some reason.

Cons

The position of guru is touted as being the perfect stepping stone into the company. I can tell you, flat out, that is a lie. If you don't know someone (have an 'in' with someone from that department) you will not be hired into a new role. Guruing is hard work. The platform changes everyday and you are expected to change with it. New features are expected to be learned (without adequate time to train and practice)....

Advice to Management

Honestly, gurus need to be listened to. Guruland is drowning because there are way too many merchants and way too many shiny, new features being rolled out everyday. On any given day I could receive up to 10 emails telling us to prepare for new features. Merchants call in expecting gurus to know how to use these things. If we don't have training until the following week how can we effectively help people with new products?...

Pros

Constant learning, work from home (no commuting), great teams

Cons

Management very young with no experience, schedule horrible have to work every holiday, tied to the desk hard to even take a potty break, 3 technical chats at the same time saying do not need to code but you do. They made many training errors and threatened to fire immediately instead of taking responsibility for their errors.

Advice to Management

More training on how to handle employees so they are not just what they produce and just rated on leaders opinions rather than actual mistakes to weed out too many hires; look at why mistakes are made at the training level.
