I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2022
Interview
Recruiter screen, tech screen, onsite
The tech screen was an hour of python. The onsite was back to back interviews that were less coding and more product sense and data best practices.
The tech screen is object oriented + data structures
overall good but the decision making process is confusing, everyone is kind but the result saying that I am meeting the standard but they are not going to proceed with the process
The process is well-described below and my experience with representative.
Quite a few rounds, but they all seem useful. Focus on technical aptitude but also on more human skills/characteristics.
It's clear this is a big company doing many interviews and they don't seem to be recruiting you so much as screening you. I often struggled to get email responses from the recruiter who eventually stopped responding altogether instead of formally ending the process (after multiple technical rounds). Sadly, not that uncommon these days but seems out of step with rhetoric there. Perhaps that was just my experience as a candidate they didn't identify as top tier!
