Easy interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Nov 2016

Interview

Applied online. Received interview call on Skype within few days. The recruiter asked me about my life story. How you got started in programming. At this point, no technical questions were asked. We had a discussion for few minutes which went alright. After 2 days they sent an email saying I did not qualify. I asked about my mistakes but never heard anything back.
