J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify en août 2018
Entretien
Shopify has a very different and awesome interview process, that is described on their website.
During my interview process, I talked to people that are very friendly and polite.
The first step was a quick chat with one of their tech leader's, to talk about how is the software development process at Shopify and also to tell more about the position.
After that, I had the "Life Story" interview with a recruiter, who was interested to know more about my life and my career.
And then I had a technical interview with a developer leader.
That third interview disappointed me because I was expecting that the technical interviews are going to be also different, but actually, it was a Google-like interview, focused on solving tricky and meanless algorithms problems.
Well, unfortunately, my recommendation to anyone who wants to pass those technical interviews is to read books like "Cracking the Coding Interview" and memorize as most algorithms as you can.
I hope someday they realize the problems of that kind of technical interviews and change that.

Question 1

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.

Question 1
