Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Shopify.
Entrevista
The first step is about an hour with a recruiter where you share your "life story". The recruiter interjects with similar anecdotes from their life. It was kind of odd and I didn’t get the point. Apparently my life story wasn't good enough because I didn't go to the next round. Kind of demoralizing to learn your whole life apparently doesn't measure up.
typical interview process, one round with hr. followed by a 75 min coding interview pair programming with one of the engineers. In the coding interview it was encouraged to use ai.

There was a first round with hr followed by a 1hour interview, use of AI was encouraged. Interviewer was not very knowledgeable and I had to discover a solution that she understands
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.
