Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di set 2024
Colloquio
Was referred by a friend. The next day received a link to an aptitude test that had to be completed in 25 mins (similar to an IQ test. Then a link to book a call for a live PM exercise (1 hour). During the exercise was presented a question about a Shopify problem and was asked to solve it. 5 mins for questions at the end. The person I spoke to was randomly assigned and was not the hiring manager.

Colloquio
If you are American, do not interview with Shopify - lowest ROI in the industry. Apparently, they are a big deal in third-world Canada fraught with egregious unemployment and they interview with this in mind. It's a tedious loop of company lifers and failed devs. They seem anxious and risk-averse. Scrap it - re-evaluate your time - literally any mid American company is a better return on invested time (look at the salaries). I think the process was like 3-4 months - absolute mental illness for this caliber of company.

Root cause questions with some Shopify-specific product. Learn RCA frameworks.
Too many rounds of interviews. The last round is a case study interview which is not a great format for assessing if a candidate would do well in the role.

They ask for your life story which I felt was a great way of learning about a candidate, their journey, and how it has shaped them to excel in the role they're applying for.
