Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and then we set up an initial 30-minute phone screening to make sure that I fit the job requirements and the position was something that I was interested in.
The 2nd round was a 30-minute technical interview via Coderpad. The scenario involved arrays, objects and calculating different price scenarios. Not difficult in terms of Leetcode but obviously much easier if you have experience building similar things, which I hadn't. But the developer was very friendly as I talked through my thought process, and I managed to pass all the test cases before the time limit.
The 3rd round was the one-hour life story and I felt things went very well and it was an engaging conversation, but I didn't wind up making it past this round.
The interviewers were friendly but the entire process took a long time with weeks of silence. I got a generic template email with my rejection with a note about applying again in the future, but it wasn't motivating especially getting rejected after the life story interview. If my technical or problem-solving skills were the issue, then I can work on those. Not sure what I could do if my personality or past experiences were what caused the rejection.

Entrevista
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
