Shopify

Shopify is an amazing company to work for in terms of career growth, but it is heavily dependent on which team you are in, who your manager is, and whether you are lucky enough to work for a team for at least one year without changing your team and manager.

Leadership not being honest with employees has been a major issue that I've seen.

Over time, you lose your trust as well.

For instance, they canceled an intern Vancouver gathering pretty close to the event and, instead of just saying the actual problem (financial), they said it's pretty busy now and everyone should focus on work.

What is the outcome of 3 days more for an intern, really?

They had every right to spend their money how they wanted, but they just cannot be dishonest like this and make excuses.

The other major issue that I've seen is that they keep changing and reorganizing teams.

Changing managers 6 times in less than 2 years has been harmful for career growth.

Be honest. Don't restructure the teams 1,000 times. It's harmful for mid-level engineers.

Often, managers are not capable of handing over all the necessary information. This has a huge impact on employees' motivation and courage for growth.
