I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shopify (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2020
Interview
Informal interview, just a chat about my current job which I am in now, why do I want to work at Shopify, nothing you can really preapre for but just be yourself. Ive being working in customer service for the last 4 years and i didnt get through to the next round which I was unsure about considering my experience and I would deal with shopify on a daily basis which I stated in my interview. I asked for feedback but I got a generic email stating they had so many people applying and if I was interested for future roles to email.

Interview
1- online assessment
2- recruiter
3- hiring manager
4- mock call
5 - life story

Every stage was simple but on the last stage was much more of a “do you align with what the vp wants.”
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2-5 stage- tell me about yourself, why Shopify, why are you leaving your current role
6 stage - what are 3 nonnegotiable
Interviewing was very robotic. Recruiter spent more time reading the CV than asking questions about it, it felt rushed, as if the interview was just set up an hour ago rather than a week ago
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you explain a time you went above and beyond for a customer
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Melbourne)
Interview
The entire interview process was conducted remotely. First, there was a typing test, followed by a language proficiency test since the position was bilingual.
Next, I was given an opportunity to demonstrate how I would handle customer support by responding to a customer email as a Shopify representative. In my case, the topic was related to domains.
After that, I had a Zoom interview with an interviewer from Canada. Following this, she assigned me a task as the next step: answering a customer inquiry in the second language. This time, the question was about payments, and I answered it by referring to Shopify’s website.
Upon passing this stage, I proceeded to the final interview. This time, an interviewer from the U.S. posed questions to me as a customer via live chat, and I had to respond in real time. The challenge here was to answer quickly and accurately, which was the most difficult part of the process.
