Process
I applied online.
The initial 30-minute phone interview happened one month later. I was asked what made me choose software development as a career. Then, one week later, the second round consisted of a life story interview and a coding interview. The life story interview asked the same question: what made me choose software development as a career. The coding interview was easy, and I was given an hour but finished in 30 minutes. The interviewer said the solution was good and finished the interview early.
Then, one month later, I was told their hiring system was updated and my profile was lost. They then scheduled a meeting with me one week later to tell me the same thing, also stating they had a lot of candidates and could not proceed with my hiring process.
I would like to thank the hiring team for keeping me updated.

Shopify Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Team, Okay PaySoftware Developer • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaSeptember 17, 2021Pros: It's unbelievably easy to talk to and ask for help from another team in this remote working environment. I think that's because Shopify hires people with great communication skills and not-jerk personalities, with special interviews that are not just technical questions. Really appreciate the small and big teams' effort to make remote work collaboration easier and better.Cons: I have to say the pay is not around the top level, but it's a trade-off, I guess.
