      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      Interviewer was 10 minutes late and did not apologize, asked vague questions, and, at one point, was very obviously typing/responding to emails and messages instead of being engaged in the conversation. The most unfortunate question was when the interviewer asked about the candidate's approach to stakeholder management, and after hearing that the candidate tries to understand other perspectives/find a win-win solution, responded by saying that they wanted a leader who was not consensus driven and could call the shots. There is implicit gender bias in wanting such a response from candidates as female candidates know they are more likely to be judged negatively for speaking in a way that suggests they may not be collaborative/less willing to compromise, and would therefore be unlikely to respond to the interviewer's question as desired. It would have been better if the interviewer had asked for an example of when the candidate drove a product solution in spite of lack of consensus. Framing as such allows female candidates to demonstrate their ability to lead in tough situations, without risking having their approach to stakeholder management be interpreted negatively.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What's your approach to product? What's your approach to stakeholder management? What's your approach to people management? What product are you most proud of building and what was the impact?
