Pros: 5K lifestyle spending Unlimited vacation Pair programming culture

Cons: The company is growing at a crazy ratio. Low salaries.

Pros: Easy place to coast, good work-life balance, good opportunities for career growth.

Cons: Compensation is below industry average, especially for those who have been at Shopify for a long period of time. They would rather let long-term employees leave and hire people with less experience and context for more money than keeping their tenured employees would cost. Lots of gaslighting from senior leadership in regards to our benefits/compensation. They state "culture" as being a main factor making up for our below-average pay, with one VP even citing not being called during the delivery of his child as a reason why our culture is so good. If you want to work hard, go to another company that will pay you accordingly. Shopify is a great place to coast with friendly people, but they will not pay you what you are worth, especially once you are here.

Pros: - The hiring process brings tons of talent and overall nice people to work with. - True remote-by-default work culture. - Great work-life balance. - Ability to work on meaningful, impactful projects.

Cons: - Given the current stock price, total compensation is good, but not great. - Fast growth through hiring sometimes results in a lack of organization.
