In line with what others have posted about Shopify's recruiting process, I was told during the initial "interview" that I had made it through to the second step, the "life story." I was told to Google Shopify life story to prepare for another 30 minute interview and that someone would reach out to schedule. I waited and did not get a response for week so I emailed back only to get an out of office response. I did not think too much of it, but now that I was told that I did not make it through, part of me wonders if their process moved on without me due to a mishandling of the entire process. Good recruiting processes would make a good faith effort to limit this perception of unfair distributive fairness, but unfortunately Shopify did not make that effort. A company should not lie during their interviewing process. I was led to believe that I had the next interview secured and that someone would reach out to schedule. There were no verbal/nonverbal cues that might have suggested otherwise during the first interview. I am not upset that I did not get the second interview, I am upset that I was lied to. My advice to interviewees would be to keep on top of things if you are waiting for an answer from Shopify about a job, especially if you are juggling multiple possible interviews. Best of luck! Update: When you call in for the phone interviews, make sure that you use your country's call in number. They will list the Canadian call in number and if you call in to that number from a US line, then you'll be paying long distance. I just noticed today that I had to pay ~$13 to be lied to.
