Pros: Good salary. Still remote, at least until I was there.
Cons: Shopify's culture is marked by intense competitiveness, with employees constantly ranked against each other. This leads to a toxic environment where individuals are quick to criticize others to elevate their own status. Moreover, there's a noticeable gap between leadership and employees, resulting in a lack of understanding and empathy towards the challenges faced by the workforce.
