Applied online, was contacted back with a coding challenge. I did the coder pad code challenge, to which I wrote a function based on criteria that it should take certain inputs and return a certain value. It took me about 40 minutes, and the function worked like a charm, and every single test case passed. There was nothing wrong with the function in any way. The interviewer responded saying things like Good, Good, etc and made me go through each test case, and show him that they pass with the correct return values. Then when they all passed, I got the Good Good response again, and before ending session I was advised that the Talent people will be in touch. I was then contacted a couple days later by the Talent people and was very surprised when I received this: "Hello [redacted], Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to complete our coding exercise. We greatly appreciate your engagement in the process! This exercise was meant to reflect the type of work that would be done on a daily basis in the role. Upon review, we have decided to move forward with other candidates for the role at this time. We are adding new roles to our careers page often and we hope you'll consider applying again in the future. Thank you for your time, effort, and interest in Shopify." Now, Shopify thinks that I will actually re-apply? They are clueless frankly. There are many other companies I can apply to that will respect my time and value. I passed their code challenge to spec, and I get this bizarre rejection email back. Good luck with that, I won't be "re-applying", as there are a lot of companies out there guys. Good luck and move on.
