Mission: Make Commerce Better For Everyone.
Helpful (7)
I have been working at Shopify full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- great growth mindset: learn, grow as fast as you can. Books, conference, training, etc: you own your own development
- growth: growing company equal lots of opportunities to improve the platform
- fast paced environment and hard problems with huge impact: if you like to solve problems, meaningful problems for millions of buyers and merchants this is the place to go!
- no short term vision: we are here to build a 100 year company not make as much cash as possible. Tu are encouraged to do the right thing
Cons
- growth: there is no user manual and things change quickly. Lots of new people and an ever changing environment.
- self motivated environment: no hard deadlines and there is no end to make commerce better.
Advice to Management
- keep the culture of openness and transparence
- have teams présent their work more often to senior management to show your interest
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify (Galway) in February 2017.
Interview
Create a shop and complete some tasks to show you can learn to use software. Then 1 hour Skype interview which they say is informal and about getting to know you.
Interview Questions
Have you ever considered making the move for an opportunity? This is the story of one UX Manager's experience relocating with his family from the US to our headquarters in Ottawa, Canada: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vM5R1
Engineering jobs at Shopify involve crafting the tools that equip our merchants to scale their businesses and take them to the next level. Figuring out the right approach to those problems? That's the interesting part.
