I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Shopify (Sydney) in Apr 2023
Interview
The interview process was drawn-out, spanning a lengthy 8-10 weeks, which indicated inefficiencies in the hiring procedure. It was notably disjointed, suggesting a lack of coordination between different phases. Additionally, the entire process was marred by a glaring absence of clear communication, leaving candidates often in the dark and potentially frustrated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Over the course of 4-5 interviews, the process began with a phone screen discussing salary expectations. This was followed by a 'life story' interview focusing on personal values. Subsequently, a session with the hiring manager delved into specific skills pertinent to the job. The last two interviews proceeded in a comparable manner, evaluating both expertise and fit.
