I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY) in Nov 2021
Interview
The Phone Interview was basic. The LifeStory interview was strange, predatory, and felt a little too personal. You go very deep with the recruiter, who by the way, had no previous experience as a recruiter and randomly worked at a music store and seemed very proud of this fact. The recruiter leads you on making you believe that you are a top candidate and you will make it to the next round of the interviews only to receive a cold rejection email. The whole experience of this lifestory is strange, off putting, and straight up predatory.
I wouldn’t recommend working here.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to work at Shopify?
What do you know about Shopify?
Unconventional which seemed Ok at first. The place had a real cult of personality vibe to it. Everyone was nice, but I really did get the sense of a "we are holier than thou feeling".
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2024
Interview
The process was unnecessarily long, lacked direction and at times irrelevant. The technical test was essentially a 3 question test on excel functions.
The life story was one of the strangest interviews I have been involved in. The recruiter came off as arrogant and disinterested. At times I felt like they were just gathering information on my previous employers. Judging by some of the comments on their company culture, I'm glad I dodged a bullet.
Zero feedback received too which says it all about their culture.

The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Jul 2024
Interview
The recruitment process I went through was quite interesting and involved several stages. First, I completed an online test that evaluated my behavioral and logical skills. After that, I had an online meeting with the recruiter. This was followed by another online session specifically designed to test my data skills. Then, there was a life story interview, and the last stage was a reverse life story interview. I received feedback within about 1.5 weeks.
