The process was split into several parts: Recruiter Filter, Coding, Life Story, Management Experience behavioral interview, API design, Another Coding Interview, PM/Design interaction behavioral interview. They were flexible with timing throughout the process

After applying for the role via the careers page I was contacted by HR for a quick phone screen. Following this I had a longer, very good "tell me about yourself" call with someone in HR and then a call with a Director where we discussed management practices (dealing with low performers, career growth, agile team delivery, etc etc etc). Everything was really positive and I enjoyed my conversations. Then things went off the rails. I was scheduled for a call with a senior engineer where my understanding was that we'd talk about my technical background, get into the tech stack the team uses so we could discuss that futher. The call starts with the guy sending me a link to an online collab coding tool where he begins asking me obscure, esoteric coding puzzle questions that had NO relevance to the job I was applying for. This was one hundred percent a hazing ritual by an engineer who wanted to feel smarter than the person he was testing. This was for a *non-coding* role in the organization. A few days later I received a thanks but no thanks. My candidacy for a non-coding role was rejected because I struggled through a surprise coding challenge with zero real-world implications. If this is standard Shopify interview practices than I'm sorry, Shopify is ABSOLUTELY optimizing their hiring process for the wrong skill sets and it's no wonder people hate working there.
