Shopify

definitely one of the harder interviewers to read, responsiveness is okay, and she is pretty nice and makes you comfortable. would recommend maybe swapping interviewers to another interviewer if possible just because she's hard to read and harsh with your outcomes.

Professional recruiter, but she waits until the very last minute for the results. There are other recruiters who move faster than her so if you have the opportunity pick someone else for your interview it will be much smoother and most likely will be a positive result.

She is a great interviewer, she was nice through out the interview process. One thing to note she doesn't respond to emails and had delay rejection email setup making you wait more than 2 weeks for results.

David is the reason I accepted Shopify's process instead of bailing halfway through. He sent a doc before my first call explaining each interview stage, who I'd meet, and what they care about. No BS. When I asked about comp band upfront he didn't dodge it — gave a range and said where I'd likely land based on my background. Felt like he was advocating for me internally, not just filling a req. If you're interviewing with Shopify eng, hope you get David.

First call was fine. Second round with the HM seemed positive — David said he'd sync with the team "by end of week." That was six weeks ago. Two follow-up emails, one LinkedIn message, nothing. Maybe the role filled. Maybe I wasn't a fit. Just tell me? Left a bad taste compared to other Shopify folks I've talked to.
