How it went
The candidate's interview process at Shopify for a mid-level Software Engineer role began with an online assessment (CCAT) followed by a phone screen. The phone screen included behavioral questions about career aspirations and engagement with provided materials, as well as a front-end pair programming exercise involving a word guessing game. A project deep dive was also part of the process, allowing for the use of personal diagrams or presentations.
