Pros

I interned twice at Shopify. Aside from all the perks (free meals, intern events, etc.) that you've come to expect from many of the better tech companies, the thing I really liked about Shopify was that they didn't distinguish between interns and full-time employees; you both got the same quality of work. Also, they were very willing to put you on new teams, even if you had no experience in that field.

Cons

I don't really have any cons about the company. Maybe the culture isn't for everyone, as the company is primarily younger people.

Advice to Management

Maybe it's time to try raising the hiring bar for interns. Shopify's interview process is very easy compared to other companies in its league. It's mostly just culture fit.
