Shopify

Memes in Slack are funny. They have access to some nice tools like Guru.

Very, very messy. I've worked at four companies before this one, and none of them have been this loopy.

They promised us pay raises and delayed them multiple times. When the raise did come, they're now telling us that we have to give up all of our equity. The RSUs that we were promised when we signed our contract are not ours anymore. How messed up is that?

The only way to get a pay raise at Shopify is to give up RSUs, which are part of your compensation.

While your direct lead will advocate for you, the people above them are all but clueless. I would like to assume it's because the organization gets reorganized so many times, but the fact of the matter is, the rich people in the org do not care about the workers that support them.

Slack channels are heavily moderated. They are closed if they even sense that people are going to talk about topics like fair wages, equity, and diversity. Speaking of diversity, the company isn't diverse at all. Most of leadership is white, while the workers under them are people of color.

You may have heard of the mass layoffs in the news, but you'd be surprised to know that the company has been doing silent layoffs before and after that fact.

Workload is unmanageable. People keep leaving, and there are no replacements hired to take their workload. Instead, they just shove it on everyone else.

If you want to work at an organization that does not care for your mental health or wellbeing, Shopify is the way to go.

Increase wages, plan more trips.
