J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify (Toronto, ON) en sept. 2020
Entretien
The coding interview was easy, and the conversational interview was nice, but the "pair programming" interviews were awful. I had never pair programmed so I did a ton of research, and came expecting to collaborate and complete more of a "soft skill" interview than a technical challenge. They were executed like algorithmic coding challenges, and I spent the whole time confused trying to engage the interviewers and establish a "driver" and "navigator" situation.

The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.
