The interview process is laid out in steps on the website, which was helpful to know. My experience was decent, going through each step, however I found it to be quite a long process and could be much more efficient.
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.
