Hey, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! I completely agree - it’s the people here that really make Shopify an amazing place to work. As for being on call - yeah, that is tough. I understand that teams have created flexible hours and long rotations so that on-call shifts like that only happen once every couple of months, but point taken that it’s still tough being on call like that, especially if a lot of pings come in. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that overall you're enjoying life at Shopify. Thanks for making time to leave a review!

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
