I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Shopify (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2017
Interview
Had a phone interview and a skype interview. Interview questions were very easy. They didn't ask any tough questions and the interviewer was super kind and nice. The interviewer gave me a feeling that I am valued which gave a good impression about the company.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2016
Interview
Interviewing with Shopify was a refreshing experience. The recruiters were down to earth, and they focused on the most important question first: are you a good fit for their culture?
I spent an hour with a recruiter talking about my "life story", where I was asked about how I became interested in technology, my career so far, etc. The second interview was an in depth technical discussion with a developer about projects I've worked on. I also got the chance to learn about their technology stack.
