Process

All interviews were amazing, and the people there are awesome. I applied online at Shopify. The process took 1 month.

First, the recruiter sent me an email 2 days later to schedule a phone interview.

Second, after passing the phone interview, I was invited to come for a Life story interview. I met for 1 hour with the recruiter, then another 1 hour with one of the developer leads, and had a technical deep dive into one of my projects.

Third and last, the recruiter asked me to come for 3 on-site interviews for 4 to 5 hours. I had 2 pair programming interviews and 1 technical life story.

2 days later, I received an email to schedule a phone call. Then, on the phone call, I received an offer.

Overall, it was a great experience, and the people at Shopify are amazing. The place is also awesome!
