Hi, thank you for leaving a review! I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience while working here. If you feel like your work environment is beginning to turn toxic, speaking to your HR rep immediately is the best course to take. Office politics can for sure be an obstacle; it's something we do our best to remove totally for all employees. People can only thrive in their place of work when they feel their concerns are heard and their needs are supported. Your HR rep can help the team identify the problem and openly communicate to resolve the larger issues that can lead to these politics Discrimination is not tolerated at Shopify, full stop. If you've seen it or experienced it, bringing it to the attention of your HR rep is the surest course for immediate action. I understand you're leaving this review as a former employee, so it can be difficult to get back in touch with your former HR rep. If you would like to leave more specific feedback for our internal team to review, you can do so here via our support pages: (https://bit.ly/3htj6v3). Thank you again for the review, I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Pros

Remote flexibility, good pay. Interesting products

Cons

AI is running the business to the ground. More bad managers than good. Managers can't protect team time or priorities. General guidance has been speed over quality, and then get upset when poor results happen
