Vantaggi

I worked for Shopify for over 3.5 years before quitting at the start of this year. When I started, it had a great company culture and treated its employees with trust and respect. I genuinely felt supported in my growth and didn't ever see myself wanting to leave.

Svantaggi

- The culture in the support org has changed from being a truly unique place to work into a typical call centre job where the front line support agents are being squeezed for every drop of output. - They pay well below industry standard for what is actually expected out of employees now, while still trying to sell it as above. - The expectations for roles in the support org are vague and only used to fire people, despite what anyone tells you. - The people that work here used to genuinely be some of the smartest people I've ever met, but changes to the hiring process has resulted in a huge drop in quality of hire. - The turnover rate is massive now (again- typical call centre). If you're considering working here- don't.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

- 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

Svantaggi

- 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
