The hiring process at Shopify takes an average of 29 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Lead Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Senior relevance engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 56 days).
Apply, recruiter, hiring manager, team member, and maybe one more senior individual depending on the level of the role. It can get a bit tedious but I felt they were pretty quick through the process and communicated well in terms of progression and next steps.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Nov 2023
Interview
Super unprofessional.
The recruiter kinda ghosted me after the initial contact but eventually got scheduled for an screening interview.
The interviewer was rude, unknowledgeable, leading with a know-it-all attitude and suggesting bad patterns to the point that I started questioning to myself if the purpose of the interview was to see how I would react to a situation like that rather than a technical, screening, interview.
Kept my cool, solved the problem, but I didn't pass to the next round.
