Pros
I've worked at many places in my industry and Shopify is one of the most fun, energetic, and interesting places I've ever been at. It's full of hungry, ambitious people from all walks of life and not a day goes by that isnt interesting. It's also growing at an astonishing place, thanks in part to these people and the great culture that exists in each of its distinct offices.
Cons
Due to being based in Canada, sometimes it feels like Shopify has exhausted the talent pool in it's cities. As a result a lot of people are hired with not a whole lot of experience elsewhere, and because Shopify is such a unique place to work it seems to cultivate a sense of entitlement in some people, and a lot of it's beauty gets taken for granted.
