I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify in Oct 2021
Interview
Easy interview, talked about resume and asked me some product facing questions. Not difficult, make sure you know what metrics to think about and practice product facing questions . You would have to make a data analysis project from their website just to even apply though
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Shopify

I applied and got a recruiter call. Main question was to describe your "life story" and what had led you to this point in your career and led you to apply to Shopify.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Oct 2021
Interview
1. Initial screening - talking about your "life story" with HR/recruiter. Going over resume/experience, interest in company/industry, career goals, etc.
2. 1h15m Peer programming exercise on CoderPad (in python). I was paired with a current data scientist and worked through an analysis problem on a small data set. I discussed my approach, coded the solution, and tried test cases. It was fairly relaxed/not too stressful and he actually stepped in and helped at minor points when I got stuck.
3. Supposedly there's another technical interview/panel interview (possibly) but I didn't get past the first stage.
