I been itching to work at Shopify for a little while now. This makes me even more excited for them! This should be interesting in how they are positioning themselves against the backdrop of Amazon and Walmart. Its strange to think that Shopify is almost the upstart against a giant like Walmart or Amazon in terms of capturing the retail end / customer experience side of things. I suppose its a strategy to diverse their commerce portfolio.

  Good luck getting through the process. Shopify HR is very slow. It was not pleasant dealing with them. I heard one reason for the slowness is that many HR employees have quit.

    I recently accepted an offer from Shopify and they did a reasonable job. 3 or 4 calls over 2 weeks, with an offer less than 3 days after my last call. Rates were very competitive for my roll and skillset. That said, they do seem to be going through--or have recently gone through--a fair amount of attrition due to declining stock prices. Not surprising given the stock situation and all, but definitely something to factor in if you're considering working there. EDIT: I'd also like to mention that it was a very humane interview process. I felt well treated, and they definitely seem to be screening more for successful employees than they are to filter out as many applicants as they can. Take that as you will, but I respect an org that treats it's employees well.

      I've been at Shopify since the beginning of this year. "Humane" is a great way to describe the hiring process, and I've found that it seems to be built to select colleagues who are self-aware and genuinely pleasant to work with.

    You know thousands of people apply to Shopify weekly right? Put yourself in the shoes of the recruiter. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean all of Shopify HR is very slow. This goes for all tech companies not just Shopify. Many people believe that because the recruiter they were dealing with was slow, that must be the case for every candidate across the entire company they are dealing with. As with all things in life, remember YMMV. Hiring is crazy right now at all tech companies.

      I agree with you here, but regardless of how busy a company is it's not unreasonable to expect a minimum-bar of quality of experience. Interviews often set perception of how well a company operates. If you or your company care about your reputation, get it right. Google/Alphabet is still suffering from it's reputation for horrendous interview experience well after a year or so of getting things back on track. Reputational issues are sticky, be they deserved or not.
