The interview process was standard. There were no curveball questions. The recruiter outlined the expectations and who I'd speak to so there weren't any surprises. I landed the interview from a cold application.
First impression counts. Interviews got postponed last minute. Hiring manager was late, did not apologise or explain and even looked disinterested several times. Not the greatest start to a working relationship imo. Layoff news also says a lot about the culture
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klaviyo in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was standard for a role in tech -- screening, hiring manager, panel (4 people) and then the hiring manager's manager. It took about 2 weeks to hear back after I applied online. The recruiter was incredibly kind, respectful and supportive throughout the entire process. They were accessible through email, phone and text and provided me with updates along the way. The entire process has taken about 1 month.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one of the panel members asked a unique question (which I enjoyed) -- "what's something about you that you'd want me to share with the hiring team that isn't on your professional resume?"
