I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2022
Interview
a character review and a coding review, both very separated and i don't think the interviewers had info from each other. the character review was kind of focused on high school and later, the coding review asked you to show existing code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
in the character review, when i mentioned a specific extracurricular/club, they often asked to elaborate on what i did.
After CV screening, its OA with a CCAT test that is 40 questions 20 minutes and a coderpad with 3 questions solved with C++, preferred language and ruby. Medium level LeetCode problems
Three rounds, first a interview with a team member, then a technical interview with an engineer, and finally the life story interview with a recruiter. However, there was a lengthy application process before being offered an interview.
Had a few calls to meet people, was fairly smooth. Met several key people from the company during the process. They wanted to get a feel of my technical skills but also communication skills.
