Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 6 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Shopify em out. de 2021
Entrevista
After application, it took 18 days to get a time with the coding exercise portion which was delayed another month because of a conflict in my schedule. In total, it took a month and a half to get to the coding exercise portion which was to program some logic based on a shipping number. For instance, if it were X it would go to Y, and etc...This exercise was timed with a live user watching and you could program in any language. I passed on to the next stage which was only a few days after that. This portion was where you had a video call with another team member and you described your story to them. I'm not exactly sure what they were looking for, I do have multiple years of development and I did not pass this stage. I could not tell you how many more stages beyond this there was. Overall, the automated emails were communicative and both team members I met were very friendly. It's likely they had a bunch of interviews at that time. I was not thrilled about the amount of time that it took to get from application to being rejected. However, this was one of the few companies that actually responded with a rejection personally, rather than being ghosted.

Entrevista
I recently completed the interview process at Shopify, which spanned about three weeks. The stages included an initial online cognitive assessment and a pair programming round, followed by a virtual onsite featuring a second pair programming session, a technical deep dive, system design, and a "life story" interview.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. The interviewers were professional and highly engaged throughout. I found the technical problems to be very practical, and notably, the use of AI coding tools was encouraged during the pairing sessions. While the system design requirements were quite lengthy, the complexity was manageable as long as you remain calm, think out loud, and clarify expectations early on.
