Can you share a bit about what they did well in the behavioral interviews? Do you have specific examples? Would love to learn some best practices

Shopify calls its first interview the "life story" interview, and (in my experience) it was a great place for me to talk about my career, reflect on past successes and mistakes, and demonstrate empathy and self-awareness.

I did that interview. Borderline illegal. My life story I consider pretty personal and was so was a pretty uncomfortable interview.

Uh. I hope this was for a non-technical role. Otherwise, it sounds like a bad idea and best and a torturous thing that filters out a lot of non-native, non-extroverted people.

But then again, that's probably why the environment seems 'fun'

What a nightmare.

[motoxpro]

That's really really cool.

So only people who have slick enough social skills to bullshit their way through that will get hired. The quiet unassuming engineer who spend their free time programming will get passed on and the extroverted engineer who spent their free time partying will get hired.
