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.

the initial call was a screen with the recruiter who was very friendly and explained the position. after that it was an interview for 45 minutes with the hiring manager who was also very friendly and approachable.
