      Product Designer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      The whole process was very long and I feel like I wasted a bunch of time, but they were at least upfront about how long it would be from the beginning. Overall, I had a negative experience interviewing- this is honestly the only interview I've ever had that left a bad taste in my mouth. Like others have said, the HR screener was a bit unprofessional. I also thought they were very harsh on the feedback considering it was a 4 hour interview. Also I think it's mostly men on the design teams. All of the designers I interviewed with were men, and when I asked about diversity to one interviewer, he wasn't able to answer well. -HR screen- video -4 hour interview: -behavioral -whiteboarding design challenge -portfolio presentation My negative feedback: - The guy who I presented my portfolio for was on his phone while i was presenting... so that definitely didn't feel great. This guy also said he hadn't seen my resume or looked at any of my work beforehand. He was nice enough but that all seemed pretty unprofessional. I had a really thoughtful, detailed portfolio presentation of 1 project (like they suggested), so it felt like it went on deaf ears. - I got feedback that during the whiteboarding, I wasn't being collaborative enough, although I felt this was quite a stretch. I was talking back and forth the whole time, I asked him for his thoughts, and had questions for him, and changed the design according to his feedback, so I'm not sure how they saw that as being uncollaborative. - One thing that actually really irritated me was that even though I had tons of other work on my portfolio for them to look through, they specifically said that it was negative that I couldn't show my most recent work that was under NDA. I was honestly shocked about this because they said they wanted me to at least "talk about this recent work and express my mind about it", which I did as much as I could ,as far as talking about my role, general process, etc without giving much away. -The hr screener refused to even give a ballpark salary before I got into the 4 hour interview, and was pretty rude about it. Why would I waste 4 hours of my life if I don't even know a broad range of if it's within my salary expectations?? Yikes, never again.

      I interviewed at Shopify (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      Straightforward, the recruiter was friendly and very informed about the role. Very transparent how the company runs and able to communicate expectations and next steps clearly. Questioning and flow was smooth, comfortable and very accommodating.

      I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY)

      Interview

      The first thing you’ll get is a recruiter screen which is fairly standard. After, you’ll progress to a portfolio review with craft person and a panel, and a hiring manager chat.

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      It’s been almost a decade since I wrote about a candidate or job experience on glassdoor, but this was bad enough to share. I’ll spare folks the details and focus on the feedback. It’s one thing (and completely reasonable) for Shopify to have bumps in the recruiting process and still decide to not move forward with a candidate. It’s *another* thing to have a recruiting process SO sloppy that candidates walk away associating Shopify with red flags and stale, slow-to-ship designers. If emotional acumen isn’t part of your recruiting culture, then fine. You can still share pronouns in your introductions, diversify your interview panels, and ensure that ALL candidates get the same level of comms/prep at every stage of the recruiting process. Candidates shouldn’t have to answer biased interview questions and leave the experience feeling grateful that they DON’T work at your company. Shame on you, Shopify! It’s 2024... do better.
