Pros

The teams work very well together and have a collaborative culture.

Your leadership cares about your success and well-being.

Fantastic pay and benefits.

Cons

Shopify has a culture of laying people off. The CEO thinks of his employees as players in a video game. Everyone is replaceable, and you can always hit the reset button.

This is the only place I worked where you were encouraged to have a side hustle.

Advice to Management

For a company that is so concerned with trust, trust your employees and the decisions you made to hire them. They put trust in you to help you succeed, in hopes of not being tossed at the drop of a dime.
