Colloquio
Overall, I got 4 interviews. The first 3 were talking with people who are from technical and HR. They are very nice people and mostly talked about my development experience and life story. I believe they were pretty interested in what I have been doing and also believe I can help in their team. Most of time I felt my experience really welcome. However during the pair programming interview in the last round I was scheduled to pair with 2 developers with different language experience from I work with, I did not finish coding within the amount of time I was given. I have provided design before I dived into coding as I have been working as develop lead, so I mostly provided design for other developers. I was called a couple of days after that by HR and told me my coding skill is not satisfied. During the interview process I enjoyed talking or working with the interviewer to solve problem. The only thing I want to complain about is if they really treat quick programming is the key feature, HR should schedule the pair programming as the first round. This would not waste any time on both sides.

Colloquio
I recently completed the interview process at Shopify, which spanned about three weeks. The stages included an initial online cognitive assessment and a pair programming round, followed by a virtual onsite featuring a second pair programming session, a technical deep dive, system design, and a "life story" interview.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. The interviewers were professional and highly engaged throughout. I found the technical problems to be very practical, and notably, the use of AI coding tools was encouraged during the pairing sessions. While the system design requirements were quite lengthy, the complexity was manageable as long as you remain calm, think out loud, and clarify expectations early on.

Had an initial recruiter call, very friendly. Then had a life story interview, very friendly casual conversation as well speaking about past work experiences and how it led to where I am. Was scheduled for a 75 mins coding round, but I dropped since I landed another offer
