Colloquio
Life story went ok, they ask leetcode mediums for coding exercises. It's horrible. Lower bound of pay range is low at 110-150. "Generous" RSUs, voluntary oncall rotation, shifts are 24 hours long. Funny enough, their stock nosedived from 2K CAD when I interviewed to 500$ CAD right now. Bullet dodged. Engineering managers are expected to split time 50/50 between being a manager and writing code. This doesn't work, ends up being 100/100. Recruiter says it works, but when I ask the EMs they say it doesn't lol. Unengaged interviewer, feels like they're just waiting for their shares to vest and leave.

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
