You know thousands of people apply to Shopify weekly right? Put yourself in the shoes of the recruiter.

Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean all of Shopify HR is very slow.

This goes for all tech companies not just Shopify. Many people believe that because the recruiter they were dealing with was slow, that must be the case for every candidate across the entire company they are dealing with.

As with all things in life, remember YMMV. Hiring is crazy right now at all tech companies.

I agree with you here, but regardless of how busy a company is it's not unreasonable to expect a minimum-bar of quality of experience.

Interviews often set perception of how well a company operates. If you or your company care about your reputation, get it right.

Google/Alphabet is still suffering from it's reputation for horrendous interview experience well after a year or so of getting things back on track. Reputational issues are sticky, be they deserved or not.
