J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify (Toronto, ON) en janv. 2018
Entretien
I had one interview on the phone and then came in to the offices for a one hour "life story" interview. Both interviews were with the same person and we touched upon similar topics in both interviews.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What were you like in High School? Did you play sports? What was your first job? Why do you want to work at Shopify? What was a project/campaign you loved working on/why? What was a project you hated working on/why?

Unfortunately a recruiter based out of the Netherlands was very disrespectful.
When I shared about wanting to explore the opportunity and see if there is a fit with the team, the recruiter responded with "with regards to fit, that is our job to decide not yours." That was a very unnecessary comment. It goes without saying that the decision to move forward with a candidate lies with the company, but an interview is also a two-way conversation for a candidate to also learn about the company and role.
When it was time for me to ask questions, I asked if the hiring manager was looking out for a specific type of candidate so I could understand what kind of person would succeed in the team. The response: "Everything is written in the job description." The point of letting candidates ask questions is to learn more about the role beyond the job description, no?
The lack of basic respect left such a bad impression, please do better.
Apply, recruiter, hiring manager, team member, and maybe one more senior individual depending on the level of the role. It can get a bit tedious but I felt they were pretty quick through the process and communicated well in terms of progression and next steps.
the interview process was good and they did not take a long time to answer back, there were 3 interviews and the last one is the hardest but if you prepare for it it will be okay.
