Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Klaviyo (Boston, MA).
Entrevista
I was contacted directly by the hiring manager the same day I applied online. We scheduled a 15 minute call a few days later and I was asked for my availability to come into the office the following week. I met with three people on the marketing team who were all pleasant and open to my questions, but overall I found the interview to be challenging and pretty intimidating for someone with my experience.
The job description itself didn't mention AT ALL how many years of experience they were looking for in a candidate, so I figured there might be more of an emphasis on professional training and development. However, the team made it very apparent they had no time to intimately train a new hire. I applied having 3 years of experience under my belt, but was asked questions that would have been better suited for someone with 5-10 years in the industry. The questions were also far more focused around developing and improving a product rather than marketing it or enabling sales.
I do have to commend them on moving fast and remaining communicative during the entire process, but it was overall misleading for this particular position. I would not have applied or taken the time out of work to come in if they had been a bit more clear about what they were looking for.

Draw a picture of any e-commerce site's homepage. What would you change or shift around?
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
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.
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Klaviyo em mar. de 2025
Entrevista
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.

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?"
