I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify in Feb 2021
Interview
I applied through their website careers page and shortly after I was invited to do a remote technical interview. Did not get an initial call or life story interview as stated in their hiring process, maybe due to their new remote initiative and volume of applicants.
The entire interview process was straight forward and explained clearly in the initial email. They were also quick to reply and follow-up.
The technical interview was a typical coding challenge. The interviewer was friendly, felt genuinely interested, and was there to answer any questions.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2021
Interview
Pair programming, didn’t seem to be a very high signal process. Interviewers focussed on being nice as opposed to guiding the process. Expectations weren’t very clear so led to poor time management
