I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Jan 2023
Interview
The people at Shopify are very friendly. They provided much information regarding the job roles, team environment, and the company's vision and culture. They mainly focused on my competency in technical skills and working in a team environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you overcame a challenge. Give me an example of a time when you had to break some bad news. Tell me a time when you were proud of yourself. Tell me an instance where you grew or improved yourself. Tell me about your interests.
Interviewed with the hiring manager, really weird experience because it felt like an info session for me to ask questions. Whole thing was done in about 20 minutes with the guy being distracted by Slack messages.
It came off like they already filled the role before this interview

Tell me about yourself and why do you want this job
I applied, got the assessment the next day, and passed the assessment 100%. The HR contacted me roughly two weeks later for pair coding. first round assessment: the question varies --> second round pair coding: system design

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY)
Interview
An unnecessarily long pre-interview process that requires an assessment test, a ridiculous survey with 100 questions, and 1 hour pointless life story, although easy, was annoyingly long and took away from the interview experience.
