      Data Scientist Interview

      1 Oct 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      Very cumbersome interview process. Started with a HR screening (pretty standard questions on past experience, skills, interest, etc), then a coding exercise on CoderPad, then a life story interview, followed by another technical screening.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Create a simple string manipulation function in Python 2. Tell us your life story 3. Code Conway's game of life in Python

      Hey, thanks for posting here! The interview process can take a little time; we want to make sure we're a good fit for each other. The technical parts help us assess skill level, how deadlines are handled under pressure, and how your thought process works when solving a problem. Then the Life Story lets us get to know more about you as a person, it's more of a conversation than an interview. It can take some time, but it is worth the wait! Thank you again for the review, I do hope you'll consider applying again when you feel ready!

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      Interviewed with the hiring manager, really weird experience because it felt like an info session for me to ask questions. Whole thing was done in about 20 minutes with the guy being distracted by Slack messages. It came off like they already filled the role before this interview

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself and why do you want this job

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY)

      Interview

      An unnecessarily long pre-interview process that requires an assessment test, a ridiculous survey with 100 questions, and 1 hour pointless life story, although easy, was annoyingly long and took away from the interview experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Give an overview of your life journey.

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      I applied, got the assessment the next day, and passed the assessment 100%. The HR contacted me roughly two weeks later for pair coding. first round assessment: the question varies --> second round pair coding: system design

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      no behavioral questions. just typical system design questions
