Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify (Ottawa, ON)
Colloquio
Initially contacted proactively by an in-house recruiter. The first step is the "life story" interview, sizing for cultural fit. Then onto a number of rounds with hiring manager and peers, checking for team fit as well as craft expertise. Friendly people at every step. Process was efficient, but heavy (many rounds).

Colloquio
After a screening, I took an online "IQ"-like test. Questions are not hard, but there is time pressure. Don't fall behind. You have 30sec per question.
Then a life-story interview, which was pretty fun. My next interview 3 (!) interviews was with the hiring manager. He wanted to talk through "a real situation" to understand how I think and how we'd work together. So basically a case. This took three interviews because honestly he didn't know how to administer a case. He talked way too much. In the last interview, he brought in one other person who was able to better administer the case. Unfortunately, I admittedly botched it, so my process ended there.
Life story screen. Goes deep and covers what in the past has contributed to who you are today. Then interviews with hiring manager and team. then interviews with business partners.
