Long and disjointed but I really enjoyed the initial coding collaboration exercise. Smart people but not all were engaged. some seemed unprepared. I suggest reading the resume and seem like you want people to work there.

Autres retours d’entretien d’embauche pour un poste comme Sr. Software Engineer chez Klaviyo
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Klaviyo en juil. 2025
Entretien
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.

Entretien
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)
A take-home or timed industrial coding challenge from code signal
Round 2: Hiring Manager Interview
A conversation with the hiring manager to discuss your background, interests, and alignment with the role.
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.
