I had my interviews in September 2022.

The interview process consists of at most 4 rounds for an intern:

• Collaboration round with engineers.
• Algorithm round.
• Project round.
• Manager round.

The questions asked were relevant and very unique, not a cliché interview process of obscure data structures and algorithms. Every person I met on the interview panel was very kind, helpful, and enthusiastic. I also received a lot of positive feedback and had a good interview overall.

But this is where the good things end. The HR team really needs to look into their strategy for how they finalize candidates. I was given very obscure updates regarding my application status. It went on for weeks with nothing concrete being said, ambiguous at best. After following up for quite a while, I was told I was rejected.

My hunch is that, unlike other companies, candidates are not selected on a rolling basis. One's selection depends a lot on the perfect culture fit.

Regardless, for any future candidates interviewing at Klaviyo, I would suggest waiting for about a week. I have known people that got results within that timeframe. If nothing, then move on; it's a reject.

I had to sign an NDA, but they were out of the box and interesting.
