I made it through the first round of interviews (one with a recruiter, one with the hiring manager) and both were positive experiences, no curveballs. I was then invited into the Toronto office for a full day of interviews. I was told to "expect informal conversation-style meetings with the team." Most of the people I met with seemed great and we had good conversations about the role and about UX in general. I wouldn't have been surprised if I did or didn't get the job after talking to those people, but I still had a positive outlook on the company and the experience. However, there was one interviewer who was very argumentative. When I'd asked others how Shopify envisioned a content strategist working closely with the marketing team, I was told that he was the person who could clarify that for me. Instead, he told me he didn't think the position needed to exist at all and tried to argue with most things I said. When not vocally challenging me, he was rolling his eyes and sighing, which led to me feeling insecure and flustered. This was mid-way through the day and it soured me so much on the experience that I wished I could leave immediately after. Another person I met with walked into the room and put his feet on the table, which also seemed disrespectful. My biggest recommendation would be for Shopify to properly train the people who are conducting interviews so that they can be sure they're putting their best face forward to candidates. I recently interviewed for a role at Google. The process was quite similar, but I learned that Google won't let someone conduct a solo interview until they've co-interviewed several times with a more experienced colleague. This was what inspired me to write this review, because after a more challenging day and interview process, I left Google feeling confident, and it reminded me how angry and insecure I felt after Shopify. Overall the entire Shopify experience seemed disorganized - I had to give my "life story" starting with high school to two different HR people. I was pretty certain after the interview that I didn't get the role, but that wasn't confirmed until I followed up myself a week later. I have actively discouraged friends from applying to Shopify after my own and friends' similarly negative experiences.
