Hi everyone, Does anyone have any pointers regarding the final round at Shopify. I believe there are 2 rounds: 1. Tech deep dive- where you present a project 2. Design round- where they give you a scenario and you've to design and present a data model I wanted to know the difficulty of this round and if there are any sources for prep that you know of. TC: 250K YOE: 7 L5
Hey @shopifolks I heard there’s no merit raises or stock refreshers at shopify so one would be making the same amount every year unless promoted? I believe only good part is choose your mix. Where one can select a higher base if they want
Yup and a promo has been made to be practically impossible to get now, and even if you do get promoted you don't get any salary raise until 6 months in the new role. Apparently you have to prove you're "worth the promo" before getting the pay for it 🤣🤣
I've been working at Shopify for 2 years and have had 2 raises since. Not sure where these people work that they don't get raises.
Probably a lot less toxic than Amazon, but still toxic. I’m not at the company anymore, and where I am is much less toxic than Shopify and it’s a more prestigious company with higher pay.
How is the culture at data engineer team
Stay away from Shopify, it’s the most toxic company I’ve ever worked at by a large margin. Leadership is comprised of a bunch of yes-men, who all blow daddy Tobi. He can do no wrong. He is Lord. He also openly hates Blind because we speak truth here. Leadership is totally incompetent. If you enjoy useless middle management that does meaningless busywork (while putting a ton of pressure on direct reports) then this place is for you. Employees are rated and pitted against each other. Tons of information gate-keeping, under-bus-throwing, backstabbing, you name it. Nobody at this company is your friend; nobody. If they smile at you and get close, it’s to eventually use it against you. Trust NO ONE. There are no promotions anyway, no raises, nothing sexy or exciting going on other than shoving gpt text generation into everything and pretending it’s product innovation. Shopify is where career dreams go to die. If you want to stagnate and have intense anxiety daily, be my guest. As others mentioned, be sure you’re happy with the comp because you’ll stay with it your whole Shopify career. The only plus is that it’s remote, but I’d imagine there are tons of better remote companies out there than this hellhole. The Shopify recruiters lied so much about it to me that I have trust issues now.
You’ll get a downgrade in pay, senior is 180-200k these days and no opportunity to advance
Avoid Shopify like the plague
Worse than Amazon? Is it the WLB?
Also want to know Amazon vs Shopify
