      Software Developer Interview

      21 Jan 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      Spoke one time by phone for 5 minutes, the guy told me I was really "interesting" and he wanted to talk to me more. Two days after, I didn't have any news so I emailed him back to ask him what was going on. He then scheduled me for another interview, but on Skype this time. We talked again on Skype for only 5 minutes, and we talked globally about the same things that we talked about the first time (To be honest I felt like this was pretty pointless). Then, I got schedule for another with a real developer. I believe the interview went well, we spoke about the tech stack they were using, he asked me what I liked to do, what was my development environment, why I said I like more X language than Y language, etc... There were no "real" technical question. The day after the interview, I get a call and they tell me that they will be moving forward with another candidate because I don't have enough "experience". I find this reason particularly funny because: 1) I applied for an internship, not for a Senior Developer position. I'm confused about what they except from their interns. And whats the point to apply to an internship when you already have a lot of experience? The POINT of an internship is to gain EXPERIENCE. 2) THEY were the ones to told me that at Shopify, tons of dev are self-taught, they value self-learning and self-teaching capacities over a diploma, every employee there learn from each other, etc... They should stop using so much buzzword in their speeches and in their job posting and their expectations are unrealistic.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify (Montreal, QC)

      Interview

      Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
