Vantaggi

Transparency (monthly AMAs with the CEO). Accolades (company bonus system based on employee voting). Technical focus (CEO still codes and comments on PRs). Strong focus on simplicity (everyone will challenge you to find a simpler solution). Amazing perks (lunches are really good). Exceptional staff in all departments. Flexible hours (generally 10-5, work from home if sick).

Svantaggi

More work than can be completed. You need a strong lead to deflect work and focus on quality. Young employees. Can make it more challenging to connect if you are 30+ Inexperienced staff. Reinventing the wheel a lot. (not so much bigco cargo culting though) High expectations and stress that goes with it. Burnout is probably more likely here than usual. Remote offices don't get treated equally. Move to Ottawa if you can, great city.

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

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

Svantaggi

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
