      Software Engineer, Backend Intern Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      I applied for a Backend Developer Intern position, about a week later I received an email to setup a life story interview. The interview went exactly as talked about online. The only curveball was when the interviewer asked about how I go about designing my personal projects, which was a bit more technical than I was expecting. Two weeks later I sent an email to the recruiter about a competing offer with no response given. Later I received an automated generic rejection through Smartr.
