I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Shopify (Montreal, QC) in Dec 2015
Interview
The process takes about four different steps. The first two steps are just to check how do you behave and during the other two they evaluate your technical skills. They are very nice and what they ask is what you should expect for an interview.

Question 1
The third step of the interview consisted of a classification problem. The point was to solve the problem in collaboration with the interviewer. To be more specific, the problem was a multi-class classification problem where the data consisted of product descriptions and the algorithm to use was TFIDF.
Interviewed with the hiring manager, really weird experience because it felt like an info session for me to ask questions. Whole thing was done in about 20 minutes with the guy being distracted by Slack messages.
It came off like they already filled the role before this interview

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why do you want this job
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY)
Interview
An unnecessarily long pre-interview process that requires an assessment test, a ridiculous survey with 100 questions, and 1 hour pointless life story, although easy, was annoyingly long and took away from the interview experience.
I applied, got the assessment the next day, and passed the assessment 100%. The HR contacted me roughly two weeks later for pair coding. first round assessment: the question varies --> second round pair coding: system design

Question 1
no behavioral questions. just typical system design questions
