Pros: Chance to work with the best and the brightest. Corners are not cut: everyone's work is kept to a high technical standard. Compensation and benefits are incredible. Destination 90 perk allows you to work remotely while traveling the world!

Cons: Work is tough, and expectations are high. Sometimes Shopify's scale creates too much red tape, and that can lead to frustrations.

Pros: Fun work environment with some really great people who are passionate about what they do. Great benefits, great offices. I've made a lot of friendships that will last a long time.

Cons: There seems to be a strong sense of entitlement within the company (employees expecting people to clean up after them, be babied, etc.), especially with long-term employees. Unfortunately, there are also many cliques. Lots of problems aren't addressed in the right way, but for example, through witch hunts over Slack (the internal method of communication). Even though the internal message is that 'career changes are encouraged,' it is a very difficult and confusing process, and I never felt like I had the support from my manager to pursue a career change.

Pros: Good benefits, relaxed workload (maybe too much). Easy-going coworkers.

Cons: Pay is relatively low. Management lacks transparency.
