I applied for a UX role and was lucky enough to have someone boost me in, which is why I think their career website's timeline on What the interview process was going to be, was misleading. I bypassed the first 30 min call and went straight into the testing evaluation. They test you on culture fit and math. Then you are given a date for an interview. On their career portal timeline, it should be a personal story interview, but I was blindsided by a portfolio review. There were two people on that call, it was clear it was stuck in the middle of their workday, and it was unclear who was leading the interview. As it was the first human I spoke with from the company, I was expecting more background/banter/explanation, but it was clear they were just there to rate me. When I informed them I was under the impression it was a personal story interview, they were quick to say no, so I went through with the portfolio evaluation. It was alienating/ very silent. Other interviews I've been on with similar companies, there was more empathy from the designers that were evaluating me, questions along the way about process, or situational questions. But it was mostly silent with the Shopify crew.
