      Developer Interview

      Jun 14, 2019

      Montreal, QC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Montreal, QC) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      This first interview was a phone interview with a recruiter. She was really nice and I enjoyed my talk with her. It was a really high-level interview, just to know if the position would be a possible fit with me. I guess that interview is more to filter out candidates who didn't really had a look at the position and just randomly sent their CV. The 2nd and 3rd interview were at Shopify Office. The 2nd interview was an 1h talk with the recruiter, called the 'Life story'. The recruiter was really nice and our discussion was enjoyable. I'm not sure how they can decide if an employee will fit at Shopify based on this discussion though. The 3nd interview was a coding challenge with another developer watching you code. I found this interview to be really awkward and stressful. Most companies I know don't do this kind of interview because they know they can't really see how a programmer code if someone is monitoring them coding. I think interviews should be based on real work situations, and AFAIK, you'll never need to code with someone watching over you in actual job. Nevertheless, the interviewer seemed like a great guy, even though he doesn't seem interested in me at all once he saw I had a hard time coding in front of him. I received an email a week later telling me they would not continue the process with me. They told me I could still apply online if I found other positions that would interest me, which was kind of weird to say, considering that they knew I was a developer, so the only position I could apply was developer. The email felt a lot like copy/paste.
