It was multiple rounds and detailed. There was a coding round, a couple of technical rounds etc. Generally not that tough and was very clear on what to expect in each round.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON)
Interview
My experience interviewing with this company was extremely disappointing. The entire process was unclear, with no follow-up or clear guidelines. Despite doing well in the technical interview and answering all the questions, I was rejected without any explanation. When I reached out for feedback, I received no response. The company came off as extremely arrogant in their interviewing approach. I will never apply here again under any circumstances.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview comprises three parts:
- "Your Story"
- ~60 minute Technical
- On-Site (~3-5 more interviews, including more technicals)
I was rejected after the first technical.
The first portion is nothing to worry about. It's an internal recruiter or someone who works tangentially to the relevant team. They're looking for relevant experience, personal red flags, and generally getting you excited for the role.
Second interview was a remote call where I was asked to use my own IDE to create a solution to a technical problem.
What probably took me out of consideration was that I focused too much on the wrong part of the question, wasting 10-20 minutes. Otherwise, it should have been fairly simple.
Rejected after this.
