Pros

Shopify is a really chill environment to work in. Everyone is extremely nice and willing to help.

There are tons of internal programs to promote health and wellness.

There are tons of internal programs for professional growth and learning.

The company is really focused on keeping people happy and giving them everything they need to succeed.

Emphasis on mentorship.

Phenomenal onboarding experience - super easy to follow both guided sessions and self-directed work.

Cons
  • Some archaic rules when it comes to travel and taxes, but they're working on it.
  • Lots of synchronous work, so it's not really full remote, just kind of work from your own home but definitely still be online generally 9-5.
Advice to Management

Embrace remote asynchronous work more! I would love to see Shopify be a leader in 'real' remote work. This article outlines the benefits best: https://levels.io/async/
