I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopify in Sep 2017
Interview
You start off with a life story chat, then you have a technical conversation with the Shopify team you would be assigned to, and then you get an offer (if all goes well of course). In order to get the life story chat, you have to complete a bunch of programming exercises and create a Shopify store selling some sort of dummy product.
I had a life chat story with Reilly and then got told around 3 weeks later that I was not moving on to the next round. I guess I had a boring life story.

Question 1
Just general questions about my education and career path.
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.
