I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2024
Interview
Initial OA (total of two questions) followed by a 45 min pair programming interview, and then a life story interview (30 mins). Question difficulty for the OA is between easy/med LC, and pair programming was probably around a LC medium.
After submitting the application they sent:
- Criteria Corp assessment (Dumb IQ test)
- Coderpad assessment (Leetcode style interview)
Then a technical pair programming interview where you are the driver and finally a "life story" interview. Unfortunately, the final stage interview was a snobby French Canadian who was saying stuff like "Ohhh our Montreal office is small so i'm just gonna put you in for Toronto and Ottawa locations.." like okay?
