The reality lived up to the hype
Expectations of our devs are very high, but the work-life balance is great. People are encouraged to disconnect in the evenings and during the weekend.
We are trusted to make decisions and act on them; at all levels, people have a large amount of autonomy.
Everyone has a chance to be mentored and to follow the career path that best suits them.
As in most larger companies, it can take a long time to gain the context you need to do your job effectively. But here again, Shopify makes space to gain this context; you are not expected to understand all the systems in your first month.
