J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify (San Francisco, CA) en nov. 2023
Entretien
Interviews at Shopify are pretty standard - initial screening , life story interview then a panel with team members if you make it past the first couple of rounds. I found it to be easier than others considering it’s such a large company it was concerning they make decisions off a story interview which is basically a walk through of your resume it’s very subjective. I also found the recruiters to be really unhelpful and a little unfriendly - I had to actively follow up for next steps and when asked for feedback I was ignored. I waited to hear back for a week only to get an automated email at 5pm on a Friday.
I found my life story interview was rushed and the recruiter was super uninterested just running through the motions and the scripts. I spoke to the manager hiring for the role she told me the role was basically filled I felt my time was wasted. They are partial to people that have worked at competitors and don’t really like diversity in my opinion.

Interviewing was very robotic. Recruiter spent more time reading the CV than asking questions about it, it felt rushed, as if the interview was just set up an hour ago rather than a week ago

The entire interview process was conducted remotely. First, there was a typing test, followed by a language proficiency test since the position was bilingual.
Next, I was given an opportunity to demonstrate how I would handle customer support by responding to a customer email as a Shopify representative. In my case, the topic was related to domains.
After that, I had a Zoom interview with an interviewer from Canada. Following this, she assigned me a task as the next step: answering a customer inquiry in the second language. This time, the question was about payments, and I answered it by referring to Shopify’s website.
Upon passing this stage, I proceeded to the final interview. This time, an interviewer from the U.S. posed questions to me as a customer via live chat, and I had to respond in real time. The challenge here was to answer quickly and accurately, which was the most difficult part of the process.
