I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Shopify in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online. I heard that Shoppify was expanding and they seem like a good company to work for. I received what stunned like a personal email back with a link to an online screening questionnaire. I complete it but did not confine beyond that point. The job was not quite what I was looking for in my career.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to provide a conversion analysis of the webpage of a non profit of my choice. I was to include three recommendations as to how that nonprofit could improve their conversion and what alternative channels it could promote itself through.
The second portion of the interview were standard coding and relational database questions. Given a schema, how would you draft a query to count the number of purchases from distinct customers... Etc.
First round with HR then proceed to case study followed by a round of interviews with managers. Life story interview and then offer stage. Everyone was really friendly and transparent about expectations.
It was a quick process. I had a phone screen with a recruiter and a meeting with the hiring manager. He asked basic questions about my interest and the role within the company.
