I went through three rounds over about two weeks. First was a brief recruiter screen about my background and interest in Shopify’s mission. The second was a panel interview with two product managers that focused on product strategy, collaboration, and user empathy. The final round involved cross-functional interviews with a design lead and an engineering lead, plus a conversation with a senior manager about leadership style and cultural fit. Each round had a healthy balance of open-ended product questions and discussion of past experiences delivering product outcomes.

If you are American, do not interview with Shopify - lowest ROI in the industry. Apparently, they are a big deal in third-world Canada fraught with egregious unemployment and they interview with this in mind. It's a tedious loop of company lifers and failed devs. They seem anxious and risk-averse. Scrap it - re-evaluate your time - literally any mid American company is a better return on invested time (look at the salaries). I think the process was like 3-4 months - absolute mental illness for this caliber of company.

Too many rounds of interviews. The last round is a case study interview which is not a great format for assessing if a candidate would do well in the role.
