Remote working and good teammates.....that is about it

Inconvénients

Fact: The company has fired whole teams of staff recently Fact: The company moves goalposts to fit its own agenda (Told us that everyone was going to get a pay rise and then changed to only certain people) Fact: Turnover is high Fact: Morale is low Fact: The support role has now become a sales role and they are trying to avoid changing your contract. Have been told "Its arguable that your current contract includes this" Fact: The company shut down an internal channel that allowed employees to discuss issues with compensation. Now has whole teams of moderators to stop any further conversation or criticisms on this. Fact: Many employees state that the role is incredibly stressful but the company refuses to take steps to reduce this in favor of pushing more workloads. Recently was told by a lead we need to figure out how to do 40%^ more work. Fact: we often get asked for feedback and nothing we ask for gets actioned. Feels like screaming into a void. Fact: we are not getting COL adjustments or adjustments due to inflation. Fact: my mental health has been negatively affected by this role and this companies actions. Opinion: This company does not care about you. You are treated as a number and replaceable. The motto of "making commerce better for everyone" excludes their staff. The company has unrealistic expectations. The current push is for 4 emails an hour with tailored resources and ways to improve each business. 3 simultaneous chats while also replying to each one within 2 minutes AND giving tailored responses with images, guides, and step-by-step intructions. Oh and again ways to improve your business without great training on how to do that. Rules for employees are not equally used against management and leadership. Conversations are often "thought policed" by leadership assuming people are not coming into conversations with "positive intent" when they bring up honest issues and criticisms. I do not think I have ever seen leadership "admit fault" or adopted change based on staff recommendations. The Quality Assurance systems in place feel like they have been designed to be used to nit-pick every small detail if they want. There feels like there is no compromise other than perfect. The weighting of certain criteria can be used to lower your overall score to "under desired values" which starts PIP and quickly being fired.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

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
