Pros

Shopifolks are, in general, great.

Cons

Management has gotten worse and worse over time.

Not sure if it's a general thing now, but I used to have a great manager. Then a new manager came who loved to micromanage and do busy work. They wouldn't leave us in peace to do our job. It was the most stressful experience I've had in a work environment.

Micromanaging.

Senior leadership is just terrible. A bunch of multibillionaires that lost touch with reality.

Advice to Management

Trust your engineers and don't keep giving them busy work.
