The process was a bit convoluted, but probably was so because roles are tight at Shopify given the current economic climate.
Was unable to apply at first, so needed to get an employee referral to recruiter and hiring manager to get an interview.
I made it to step 3, but messed up the case a little bit so did not move on.
Process was 6 steps in total:
0. Introductory call
1. Mini-case interview
2. Recruiter conversation
3. Another Case interview
4. Hiring manager interview
5. Metrics interview
6. PM "craft" interview
Overall, I think Shopify does a good job setting expectations for what to expect in the interview after step 2. Unfortunately, maybe due to timing or something else, it took a long time to schedule all of these interviews. Many of these interviews happened one after another (rather than in groups, like in a super-day).
Expect the process to take ~8 weeks end-to-end. And asking for things to be sped up may not necessarily help. Plan accordingly!

50% of shopify merchants never come back for a second day - tell me what you'd do to address this.

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.

the initial call was a screen with the recruiter who was very friendly and explained the position. after that it was an interview for 45 minutes with the hiring manager who was also very friendly and approachable.
