The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify
Interview
I was contacted online through my LinkedIn profile by an HR person at Shopify. The first interview was a short interview over the phone where only basic questions were asked such as what languages I spoke, if I currently had a job, etc. I was then booked for a first in-person interview, where I was asked about my story, no CV, no technical questions. The interview lasted about an hour. I was called back for another interview, this time the interview was more technical, but the interviewer focused a lot on explaining how they work at Shopify. I had three other similar interviews, and was eventually offered a job for the position I had applied for, but not in the city where I wanted to work. Overall, interview process was very long, over three weeks in total.
