Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 14, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was nebulous. I applied but was never sent an email. A hiring manager simply put something on my calendar without asking for my availability. The interviewer seemed pretty nice during the phone interview. When I asked if he had any concerns, he said no. This suggests he didn't want to mention his concerns, which is a huge red flag. I'm able to progress through interview loops at many other comparable companies. I strongly believe I was racially discriminated against. Shopify needs to have interviewers of mixed races, as other diverse companies do. Having only one race in the initial interview allows a single interviewer to filter out races they personally dislike and filter in their own race. This has left me with a bad impression of Shopify.

Questions

Didn't ask me anything important or challenging. I was told there were no concerns with my candidacy.
