I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify in Mar 2018
Interview
About two weeks after I applied online, I received an email with a link to set the time for a phone interview. I promptly scheduled the interview and answered the email. I didn't get an answer to my response.
On the time set for the interview, I was ready and waiting but recruiter didn't show up online. After a few minutes I emailed the recruiter with my contact information again to make sure no mistake had happened. About half an hour after the scheduled time, I got an answer to my email apologising and offering some other time options for the interview. I answered giving the viable ones for me and saying I could still have the interview at that time. A few minutes later I received a notification that an event had been set on google calendar for the interview. My email was not answered, though.
The interview then effectively took place in the new time that was scheduled, which was last week. It was a really pleasant talk. At the end, the recruiter gave me an overview of the next steps and said I'd get a feedback until the end of week. Well, that didn't happen.
On the following Monday, I sent an email asking if there were any updates about my application. Once again, I had no answer and I haven't heard back from the recruiter since. It has been over a week since I was supposed to get an answer and I haven't even got a response to my email.
