      Recruiter Interview

      2 Mar 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ottawa, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Like others have described here, they only wanted to know about my personal life and any "after school activities" I participated in; however, I could see this coming given that many other individuals have mentioned that the process is always like this. The issue I have with Shopify is specifically their lack of any organizational skills and professionalism. They could not seem to remember to follow up with me at any point, and the issue I take with this is that they had known all along that they were not considering me, but had decided to "string be along" either way. They also couldn't ever remember to email me back (huge lack of time management skills). Frankly, their lack of professionalism is absolutely astonishing with no one seeming to be the least bit busy or have anything productive to do (girls at the front desk were gossiping and forgot to give me a name tag). The entire process took over 1 month and I didn't even make it to the last round so I wouldn't waste my time with this company if you're looking for serious work. These people are just young kids that have absolutely no idea what they're doing so also be prepared for the "interview" to feel really awkward (the girl who interviewed me couldn't even make small talk at the beginning and I had to ask her how her day was; so weird).

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      Unconventional which seemed Ok at first. The place had a real cult of personality vibe to it. Everyone was nice, but I really did get the sense of a "we are holier than thou feeling".

      Recruiter Interview

      25 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The process was unnecessarily long, lacked direction and at times irrelevant. The technical test was essentially a 3 question test on excel functions. The life story was one of the strangest interviews I have been involved in. The recruiter came off as arrogant and disinterested. At times I felt like they were just gathering information on my previous employers. Judging by some of the comments on their company culture, I'm glad I dodged a bullet. Zero feedback received too which says it all about their culture.

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Jul 2024

      Interview

      The recruitment process I went through was quite interesting and involved several stages. First, I completed an online test that evaluated my behavioral and logical skills. After that, I had an online meeting with the recruiter. This was followed by another online session specifically designed to test my data skills. Then, there was a life story interview, and the last stage was a reverse life story interview. I received feedback within about 1.5 weeks.
