What should have been a three interview process (screen, life story, reverse life story (recruiter specific step)) was a six interview process and extremely time intensive. There was a team pivot happening which is why the extra interviews were deemed "necessary". Shopify notoriously hired for culture fit, but miss out on great candidates due to these drawn out processes.

Shopify does what they call a life story interview, which is essentially your career life story. They are looking for certain things while you tell your story. Self awareness - Are you able to admit mistakes you made a long the way, how did you overcome/fix them? Do you come across genuine?
Unconventional which seemed Ok at first. The place had a real cult of personality vibe to it. Everyone was nice, but I really did get the sense of a "we are holier than thou feeling".

The process was unnecessarily long, lacked direction and at times irrelevant. The technical test was essentially a 3 question test on excel functions.
The life story was one of the strangest interviews I have been involved in. The recruiter came off as arrogant and disinterested. At times I felt like they were just gathering information on my previous employers. Judging by some of the comments on their company culture, I'm glad I dodged a bullet.
Zero feedback received too which says it all about their culture.

The recruitment process I went through was quite interesting and involved several stages. First, I completed an online test that evaluated my behavioral and logical skills. After that, I had an online meeting with the recruiter. This was followed by another online session specifically designed to test my data skills. Then, there was a life story interview, and the last stage was a reverse life story interview. I received feedback within about 1.5 weeks.
