I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Mar 2018
Interview
Phone screen with HR representative , followed by three part in person interview ('life story', technical interview), and then later another 5 part interview: two more technical interviews, and three more auditions before prospective team leads.
At the end of a quite long and drawn out interview process, where all the feedback I received was very positive, I did not get an offer. The HR rep who left a message on my phone said that they felt I 'would get bored' in this job.

Interviewed with the hiring manager, really weird experience because it felt like an info session for me to ask questions. Whole thing was done in about 20 minutes with the guy being distracted by Slack messages.
It came off like they already filled the role before this interview

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY)
Interview
An unnecessarily long pre-interview process that requires an assessment test, a ridiculous survey with 100 questions, and 1 hour pointless life story, although easy, was annoyingly long and took away from the interview experience.
