How is the Shopify culture, specifically - 1) are people working early / late hours ? 2) how is this digital by design working for folks not in EST? 3) how is the revenue organization managed ? Does anyone know? Is it just sales or marketing as well? 4) are people generally collaborative or is there a lot of tension between groups?#e-commerce #retail #e-commerce #Shopify @shopify
Following, I have an interview coming up with them
What role? I’m interviewing for a product role
e-cornell - same here! PM interview coming up in a week
Following - interested in Shopify
It’s a mess.
Why do you say that?? Could you please elaborate. I have an interview coming up
They are hiring way too fast.
1. Depends on team but mostly no. Rest and vest heaven if you’re senior or exec. But we pay 🥜 so make what you want to make of it. 2. Yes. We’ve always had people in PST and EST work together. There are some teams with teammates following GMT. 3. No clue. 4. Way too collaborative❤️! I love this about Shopify.
+1 for the collaboration, it’s been such a breath of fresh air. Lots of helpful friendly people here!
How is pay? For sde I?
I failed the interview, so it’s up to you to trust my experience or not, but it was a mess! Recruiter went MIA throughout the process, PM that interviewed me was not super engaged and seemed kind of annoyed, and when sharing the feedback live, the recruiter acted as someone was forcing her to do that and it was super uncomfortable. Have a friend there and she likes Shopify - unfortunately, my experience was far from ideal
^ This is from my experience going through the PM loop
I was ghosted 3 separate times for a PM interview before I just gave up on them
The pay is garbage and the interview process is terrible
Their PM interview loop is a total mess for sure
I think you have to be really good to get hired in the US as the pay is much higher than in Canada. I would also expect some tension between the lower paid old guard in Canada and the highly paid new guard in the US. Seems messy
The tension is definitely there. It’s a Canadian HQ company that will hire a US dev on your team doing the same work and pay them double.
Yeah, and if you have been around in Shopify Canada for a while you are not going to be too happy about it. You helped build this hot company and you get 🥜 while the US newcomers are getting fat packages for not doing much! Unless they are only hiring rockstars in the US.
What is total comp for Director?
They’re hiring 2021 engineers in 2021
Lol..that was such silly ad
Maybe i was the 2022nd, didnt even considered my resume.
