I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Jul 2020
Interview
Very extensive interview process, but in a good way. They do an excellent job of ensuring you're a company fit with a life story interview, which you do before you do the interview where you meet your potential team members. It does take some times to go through each round of interviews, but I liked that they were diligent in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Life story is basically an open-ended conversation where you just tell them your life story. There's no way to prepare but to just reflect on yourself as a person and the experiences you've gone through in life that shaped you into the person you currently are.

I had one interview on the phone and then came in to the offices for a one hour "life story" interview. Both interviews were with the same person and we touched upon similar topics in both interviews.
