I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process had several steps. First, screening with HR. After this quick screening, they will set a longer cultural fit interview. Then I had 3 interviews with different Senior/Lead PMs at Shopify, 2 being a practical exercise and 1 about my overall experience as a PM. I got to the final line, but I didn't get a offer as a Senior PM, just for a PM position.
Life Story: They put a lot of emphasis on life experience, and less on concrete work experience and resume fillers.
Product Case Study: Give you a product challenge to work through live.
Behavioral: Ask about working experience
XFN: Cross functional interview
Case interview with another Product Manager about managing supply and demand in the shopify app store. Focused on identifying potential problems in the store and identifying solutions + metrics to improve them.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2023
Interview
- Screen w/ recruiter - Mini Case - Not sure what happens after that, but I didn't make it past the mini case but pretty sure they have their classic life story interview, another case study, and some behavioral
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They make it seem like the mini case will be a data analytics interview but it's very generic question - about how merchants sign up for shopify but then they don't come back to Shopify. They think a tailored onboarding would help them out and it's your job to tackle this onboarding problem. And you have to share how you'd solve it over 6 months.
