I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Shopify (Kingston, ON)
Interview
Started with the infamous life story, where I spoke to a general intern recruiter about - you guessed it - my life!! Starting from where I grew up to any projects I've been involved in. They want to get a sense of you as a person and see where your strengths lie. Followed by an interview with the person who would be my lead at Shopify.
After CV screening, its OA with a CCAT test that is 40 questions 20 minutes and a coderpad with 3 questions solved with C++, preferred language and ruby. Medium level LeetCode problems
Three rounds, first a interview with a team member, then a technical interview with an engineer, and finally the life story interview with a recruiter. However, there was a lengthy application process before being offered an interview.
Had a few calls to meet people, was fairly smooth. Met several key people from the company during the process. They wanted to get a feel of my technical skills but also communication skills.
