      Merchant Success Manager Interview

      May 21, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Remote, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Remote, OR)

      Interview

      The first interview for me was a high-level overview of my experience and interest in Shopify. From there, I had a "lifestory" interview that I really enjoyed. I went through my entire journey and how I had reached this point in my career and my life. Lastly, there were two interviews back to back with MSM leads. One interview was oriented around problem-solving and the other was more about your past experience and how it tied into suitability for the role. I was complimented throughout the process about my experience with marketing and e-commerce and honestly, it seemed as though I had the position. A week and a half later I got a very vague email indicating that they were going a different way and that I could try again for different roles in the future. I asked for more feedback so I could a) work to improve b) gain insight about whether or not I wasn't a fit for this particular job or any role with Shopify at all and never heard back. I honestly found it so disheartening after taking hours of time to be available for this process and not even getting anything actionable from the experience. What a disappointment. It is so rare to find great remote opportunities and since I live with several autoimmune diseases I was so excited to work for a company that would just care about my work and outcomes rather than me fighting to stay well and playing political games about my presence in a physical office. I didn't mention my disability in the interview, because I wanted to be hired solely on my merit, but what a crushing experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interviews are very free form and casual. I would mostly just be prepared to talk about your journey, your core values, and skills.

      Merchant Success Manager Interview

      May 14, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Shopify in May 2024

      Interview

      Unlike any process I’ve had in my nearly 2 decades of experience. I was referred in and then sent to a recruiter who didn’t offer any advice on what to expect. She brought up compensation and only told me OTE. I always exceed my rev targets so I knew that wouldn’t be a problem but having been laid off, I wanted to know my base salary so I scheduled a 10 min meeting with her to get that info. She was condescending and acted like I didn’t listen the first time by saying “[My name] if you remember we discussed the OTE last time.” Totally gaslit me. I loved the people I spoke with though. They’re kind and funny and make the interviews conversational. I would’ve crushed this job but I think that simply because I only had a couple years of ecomm experience (even though I studied it like I was back in college for this), I wasn’t selected. Don’t listen to the “life story” advice. Just make sure you can connect the dots on your resume. Keep answers succinct & impactful because they have a huge candidate pool. This job is an 80/20 split, so the base pay (I assume) is pretty low and you have to sell to hit the 20% delta - which is a given these days, anyway. Love the company and the mission and bummed I didn’t get it but just had a bad taste in my mouth from the recruiter being hasty with me.

      Interview

      I had a great interview process. Kind people, responsive recruiter, straightforward interview process! No overly complicated or trick questions, which I really appreciated. Definitely prepare for the most common questions (tell me about a time...) and have anecdotes ready for typical MSM/CSM questions.

      Question 1

      - Tell me about a time you had to rebuild trust with a customer - Tell me about a time you had to solve a complex issue with a customer
