I applied online. I interviewed at Klaviyo in May 2023
Interview
I wouldnt know because the process never started. After appliying online i was emailed about scheduling a phone call to start the process only to be met by no responses by the recruiter. I mentiomed that during the time he set out that i would be on vacation but i would gladly make time because it was a position that truly interested me. After the third email he finally responded and we agreed on a time. At the time ofthe interview he messaged me 20 after the scheduled time saying that he could not reach me by phone. He sent a zoom link and after finally getting on he said he didnt want to rush the interview and to re schedule for the day after at the same time, i agreed. Before the interview i asked for a zoom linkin order to assure being prepared this time. No answer. Emailed right before and again no answer. Essentially being disrespectful to my personal time.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Klaviyo in Jul 2025
Interview
Typical interview process. Recruiter call, online assessment, and then supposed to have a hiring manager round. I cleared the online assessment but was ghosted after that round. No response from recruiter.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Klaviyo
Interview
The recruiter reached out via linkedin, then set me up for an OA which I aced, and then arranged a 45 mins conversation with the hiring manager. After this they ghosted me. Totally unprofessional.
Round 1: Coding Assignment (CodeSignal)

Onsite Rounds:
Round 3: Deep Dive – Work & System Design Discussion
A technical deep dive into your past projects and contributions.
Be mindful of not just the architecture, but also why some decisions were made.
Round 4: Leadership & Behavioral Round
A structured behavioral interview to assess leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving in complex situations.
Focuses on past experiences, conflict resolution, and decision-making skills.
Round 5: API Design & Best Practices (Coding Round)
A practical coding session, not purely algorithmic but focused on designing and building a small API/system from scratch.
Asked about scalability, maintainability, and software design principles.
Round 6: System Design Enhancements
Given an existing system design, you’ll be asked to analyze it and propose improvements.
Expect discussions around scalability, reliability, trade-offs, and edge cases. I guess I failed at this step, since it was an unknown with this style of interview.
Great people involved and were very accommodating.
