Not the Shopify it used to be
Not the Shopify it used to be
Easy place to coast, good work-life balance, good opportunities for career growth.
Compensation is below industry average, especially for those who have been at Shopify for a long period of time.
They would rather let long-term employees leave and hire people with less experience and context for more money than keeping their tenured employees would cost.
Lots of gaslighting from senior leadership in regards to our benefits/compensation. They state "culture" as being a main factor making up for our below-average pay, with one VP even citing not being called during the delivery of his child as a reason why our culture is so good.
If you want to work hard, go to another company that will pay you accordingly. Shopify is a great place to coast with friendly people, but they will not pay you what you are worth, especially once you are here.
Value and reward your tenured employees instead of letting them leave and replacing them with new hires with less knowledge and experience for more money.
Everyone here who's been here for 3-4+ years knows we are underpaid, but we are just here coasting and vesting. You are not getting the best from us, even if you think you are saving money.
