I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shopify in Oct 2021
Interview
The first interview is a phone interview. Whoever the person was, was in a loud coffee shop and I constantly kept asking them to repeat himself. He then tells me "okay what are we here today for". So I prepare for my interview but you don't? Red flag #1. We get to the end where I ask about the culture and the interviewer goes "Yeah sometimes we have to let people go..." So this is how you're going to "sell" me for the job? Lastly, they claim that they get so many candidates and are SO busy that if you are declined, they basically will ghost you. So they won't even send a "Sorry it didn't work out" message. You just won't hear anything from them. For a company that seems to be established, the candidate experience seems extremely distasteful. Do better.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Why are you interested in working here?
What makes your company different than others?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I attended screening round after submitting the online application. Generally after one to two weeks. But i felt the process was not clear enough, but I can feel the stressful environment after layoff.
Game then screening the. discovery and then life story. Nothing too complex but unnecessary steps. The interviewer were wanna be entrepreneurs who are far from that. That is the overall process.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Calgary, AB) in Sep 2025
Interview
They asked basic questions and was a fact collecting session vs an interview. Not personable experience with interviewer. Would not recommend if any insight into company behaviors. Long interview process with many steps, recommend one ensures they really want the role before committing to process.
