Avantages

- the benefits are pretty good (health insurance and a spending account) - Working from home

Inconvénients

There is a lot of work that needs to be done with this company, and if you are considering working here, you should really do your research to know what you are getting into. This isn’t just any ordinary support role, you are required to support EVERYTHING. This doesn’t seem like an issue, but when you get bombarded with questions that you actually do not have the tools to support and you are still expected to provide excellent support no matter what. Your KPI’s are almost impossible to reach, no matter how hard you try. A day in the life of a Guru consists of back to back phone calls for either part of your shift (8hrs) or half of your shift, where you better not take more than 5mins to finish your notes and send out an email. This is then followed by back to back chats, which just by the way you are expected to do 3 at a time (they don’t mention that in the interview process, this little nugget of information becomes known well into your training). You have an incredibly high workload, with constant interaction where all you do is try your best under the circumstances, all to be told during your QA that you are either a low performer or if you’re lucky average. There will be constant and borderline over the top goal setting, which in all honestly don’t lead to anything. The cherry on top the cake is that you will often get abusive merchants, and be prepared to be told that there is always something you could have done differently, even if they come in being completely rude, it feels like it will always be your fault that they are upset. Oh and support teams are often equally as rude when you require assistance, so be prepared to be the walking mat of the merchants and the company. It is completely and utterly mentally draining, so be prepared.

Avantages

- Very collaborative, even across team boundaries - Very healthy work-life balance culture - Lots of room to grow, explore, and be impactful - Remote-friendly - Fun

Inconvénients

- Seeks constant growth and visibility, which can be difficult to achieve depending on the circumstances - Internal documentation can be hit-or-miss - One of Shopify's tenets is "thrive on change" and so there can be a lot of change (org restructures, project scope, etc.)

Avantages

Legacy Shopify ICs and lower-level managers are excellent and generally quite nice (company's Canadian after all) Caliber of engineering talent is generally high Dev-friendly stack (Ruby/Rails) Bleeding-edge AI adoption with unlimited token budget

Inconvénients

Recently brought over a CTO from Microsoft: he brought with him a lot of not-at-all-nice people who are highly political, frequently rude/condescending to legacy Shopifolk, and make consistently bad/dev-hostile technical decisions Bleeding-edge AI adoption is being used to justify unreasonably increased expectations
