Vantaggi

Most the engineers I work with at the ground level are well-intentioned, smart individuals.

Svantaggi

Oh boy, where do I start? Shopify used to have a great culture, but it has taken a severe nose dive. They've grown too big too fast and don't know how to scale. It's very chaotic and they have completely unrealistic deadlines on projects that will never come to fruition. Any sort of criticism, even if constructive and not "bashing" is deleted off slack by a moderator. In turn, it's become a bit cult-y and filled with toxic positivity. Upper management constantly promises things and then doesn't deliver. Overpromise and under-deliver seems to be a Shopify motto.

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
