3 OA: IQ/Personality Test + Technical + Life Story (behavioural)
OAs were easy, techncial was also fairly easy. I was invited to do the last round life story interview at Hack The North. They framed it like an interview about life but they mainly drilled you about experiences on resume.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Feb 2020
Interview
4 very long interviews with a task, lifestory, test and personality test. The first few were very easy casual conversations but it's important to talk about work and tie it back to the questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2024
Interview
60 minute video interview, then ghosted for 4 weeks. I followed up by email and never got a reply on a number of occasions. Then templated email rejection coms arrived. Can’t say it was a great candidate experience but you don’t care.
