Pros
- Digital by Design perks: Super flexible working hours; Strong guidance and expectations around when email, Slack, or a video call make sense for making decisions and getting work done; Budget for setting up your remote work environment; Budget for your monthly Internet expenses; Destination90, where you can work from almost anywhere in the world for up to 90 days in each calendar year - Relationships favoured over hierarchy for getting things done - Lots of different comm channels to tune into if you want to voluntarily want to seek out more context on anything that's going on around the company - Shopify doesn't hire a**holes :D
Cons
- There's always a LOT going on, which can tempt folks into potential burnout if they have strong FOMO - (Like almost everywhere) your speed of climbing the career ladder will be highly dependent on who your lead is and what your team does at Shopify (certain types of projects are easy promo material, and your lead needs to be good at highlighting ALL your positive impact, not just the easy-to-talk-about things) - You can't margin trade your SHOP stock (kidding!! :D)
