I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON)
Interview
The application process involves submitting a resume, completing a computational thinking assessment, attending an interview, and then receiving an offer. I reached the computational thinking stage but was not accepted. Applications are open annually, and no prior programming experience is required.
Had to go through multi stage process
did a problem solving assessment and a timed problem solving test with about 30ish questions
Next stage, was asked to answer 4 questions about personal experience,
After that there are several interviews
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Example of a time you took an action that made a difference
I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify in Apr 2024
Interview
Exactly as detailed on the website, with the timeline following pretty close to it too.
1. Application w/ computational questions and personal statements
2. Growth Path (Life Story)
3. Technical Round (A greeting from a current Dev Degree Intern, Quick Behavioral Interview and System Design Thinking Question)
4. Offer Decision
I submitted my application in December, heard back in March. They are screened on a rolling basis, but candidates hear back around the same time to schedule interviews.
Offer Decisions are released all at once for candidates, but there seems to be two groups this year (those who received decisions and those who are pending updates, possibly waitlisted).
Highly recommend watching their info sessions to prepare, looking at glassdoor, and chatting with prev/current interns.
