I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2017
Interview
The process was warm and supportive with simulating and friendly conversation. They took an approach that was less about measuring your capacity under pressure, and more about connecting with you as a friend to make you feel comfortable and eager to share. Their approach is unique and probably the best to generate conversation and measure fit with regard to personality, culture, skills and unique assets and perspectives.
The most respected and ‘seen’ I have ever felt in an interview actually.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about my life history in a round about way to understand what skills and diverse perspectives you bring to the company. Followed by a team lead to inquire about specialized skills and experience relevant for that particular role.
