I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Feb 2022
Interview
Started with a standard 30 minute call with the recruiter talking about the role and your experience.
Followed up with a live case study during a 3 hour interview (2 hours to complete the case 1 hour presenting to team).
Completed the case study after having to take PTO. Crazy they don’t let you do it in your free time. Was told I would hear next steps the following week and it’s now been over a month. Even after several follow up emails, no word.
Enjoyed meeting the team and but incredibly disappointed in the communication and process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Forecast the P&L for the next 3 years based on the last 5.
Had to do a personality test, an IQ test, a SQL test, and two interviews just for them to reveal the salary. The salary was far below my expectation and the market rate and I did not move forward.
Hiring manager explained what they are looking for and told me I don't have enough years experience. Seems like it was her first time seeing my resume before taking the interview. I did a SQL test, and another IQ and behavioural type of test before getting this interview.
