I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Dec 2021
Interview
There are several rounds. First, there was a standard phone screen. Second, I went through a coding test. Once I passed that, there were a few interviews. They were hiring aggressively at the time, so they were a little slow to get started, but the pace picked up as the process progressed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I went through a number of Python coding exercises. They were all pretty reasonable questions, certainly doable within the 45 minutes allotted. They also asked about a possible product decision and how I would approach it.
Recruiter call and setup code pair.
This is the second time I've done the code pair at Shopify, they keep reaching out.
Both times I have solved the problem and both times I get the rejection email without any feedback. I usually get through coding rounds at other companies ( 7/10)
I feel like their evaluation process is somehow broken/ different from the industry.
So I'm done with Shopify and I'm going to ignore their recruiters from now on.

Interview
Super straightforward interview process.
Story telling
Technical Round 1/2
Data Deep Dive - this is both SQL and Python. Python gets a little software-based questions and less logical thinking as you’d expect for the role.
Final Round
People were very nice and helpful during the process. Enjoyable experience
