Entrevista
The first pair programming interview was chill. The interviewer was helpful.
The second interview was the Growth Path interview. Could not have gone worse. The interviewer was 10 minutes late then had an attitude when they joined. They asked if I read the documents about the company beforehand, which I did, They say it's supposed to be like a conversation so anytime I would ask a question back they just referred me to the documents. They kept interrupting whenever I would try and say something and basically put doubt into what I was saying. Basically it just felt like they already filled the position and the interviewer was trying to find reasons to not move me forward.
It is definitely a cult though and if you will realize that very soon if you read the docs.

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
