Pros

The awesome perks Amazing benefits The company culture is fantastic Everyone is easy to talk to, whether about work or general life The PTO benefits are top notch This company actually cares about it's employees, allowing the employees to not only have a life, but be able to enjoy what they do each day at work. It isn't easy to find a company that genuinely cares about you as a person.. care as in your health, well-being, family life, work/life balance, and more. As long as you communicate with them, they are all very understanding. In the time I've been here, I've seen each department work wonders, from top sales figures to a support team that can't be beat. They all work together to ensure everything runs smoothly without incidence. They are located just a couple of blocks away from the Capitol building, and it can even be seen out of the windows. If you live near the CapMetro tracks, it's a short walk away from the downtown station. On that note, they reimburse you for the train expenses, so you can live all the way in Leander and not have to worry too much about commuting from so far away.

Cons

None! I've enjoyed it here more than any other job I've held.

Pros

I have been at Shopgate for the past year, one of the best career years of my life. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. We have the stability of a mature, global, well-funded company with the thrill of forging a new path as an Austin start-up. 2. Our growth has been incredible. With growth always comes organizational changes, but the company has handled those well and always taken good care of employees. 3. I am inspired to prioritize and do the work that provides the most business impact. And I’m supported with the resources needed to succeed. 4. Shopgate’s leadership is unmatched. Marc Biel, our CEO, has been rock solid at leading the charge and building the US efforts from scratch. 5. Standard start-up pros: snacks, beer, cold-brew on tap, valet parking, vibrant energetic office, catered lunches, company events, t-shirts, lots of swag All of the above reasons, make it so easy to get out of bed in the morning and walk into the office with a huge smile, ready to work with my team and take on the day. I look forward to years of continued personal and company growth at Shopgate.

Cons

It's a start-up. There are few process and we're still growing our tech stack. More than likely you have to create new process and figure out how to make things tick. Be willing to iterate when you figure out what works and what doesn't. If you want a simple, cookie cutter gig, Shopgate is not for you. If you have ideas and drive, you'll love it here.
