Two parts interview. Both technical and nontechnical. Unfortunately both interviewers came not prepared and I could tell that they didn’t even go through my resume. The technical interview was coding challenge and the interviewer was not interested in exchanging ideas. She was only interested in me finishing the task in time.

Question 1
Technical interview was a programming task. The nontechnical one was very high level and generic questions.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify (Toronto, ON) en oct. 2023
Entretien
The interview has 5-6 stages. It starts with a live coding exercise of 40 minutes in which 30 minutes is meant for coding. The next round would be the “growth path” interview. Not sure of further rounds as I didn’t make it beyond this stage.

Question 1
Coding interview involved a simple brute force algorithm. There was no need to bother about time or space complexity. Mostly folks have to be concerned with the growth interview. As mentioned my experience was not really interesting to a recruiter who probably yawning through the interview and feigning interest. The person was caught off guard when I asked about how the interview went. Didn’t seem like someone who was experienced enough to find talent. The rejection mail also had the feedback which didn’t give you anything. The growth interview also focused on weeding out candidates who don’t subscribe to the new Shopify culture. I guess that I didn’t fit in or maybe I dodged a bullet. Time will tell.
