I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Jun 2018
Interview
It was life story interview. I told about my life time chronologically from the university to now.
Interviewer is very nice and it took about 1 hour. At the first time, I was a little bit nervous but after a while, it was comfortable to talk about me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you choose your program?
What did you do in your previous work?
What is the reason to move your work?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2018
Interview
Shopify has a very different and awesome interview process, that is described on their website.
During my interview process, I talked to people that are very friendly and polite.
The first step was a quick chat with one of their tech leader's, to talk about how is the software development process at Shopify and also to tell more about the position.
After that, I had the "Life Story" interview with a recruiter, who was interested to know more about my life and my career.
And then I had a technical interview with a developer leader.
That third interview disappointed me because I was expecting that the technical interviews are going to be also different, but actually, it was a Google-like interview, focused on solving tricky and meanless algorithms problems.
Well, unfortunately, my recommendation to anyone who wants to pass those technical interviews is to read books like "Cracking the Coding Interview" and memorize as most algorithms as you can.
I hope someday they realize the problems of that kind of technical interviews and change that.

Interview
Great hiring process different from other big companies. Pretty much as they noted on their hiring page. You have Life Story 1hr call paired with 1hr of technical interview where you can talk about projects you've worked on
