Shopify

Most of the engineers I work with at the ground level are well-intentioned, smart individuals.

Oh boy, where do I start?

Shopify used to have a great culture, but it has taken a severe nose dive. They've grown too big too fast and don't know how to scale.

It's very chaotic and they have completely unrealistic deadlines on projects that will never come to fruition.

Any sort of criticism, even if constructive and not "bashing," is deleted off Slack by a moderator.

In turn, it's become a bit cult-y and filled with toxic positivity.

Upper management constantly promises things and then doesn't deliver. Overpromise and under-deliver seems to be a Shopify motto.

You are a corporation, not a startup.

Act with more intentionality.

Stop investing in all the NFT/crypto stuff and start investing in your employees.
