I applied online, and was asked to complete a pre-assignment before the phone screen interview. The assignment was extremely easy and took only about 15minutes to complete. But upon my assignment submission, I received a formal rejection letter almost right away.
A Classic "waste of time interview".

Other Data Scientist interview reviews for Klaviyo
A recruiter wanted to interview me for this role. After setting up time with that recruiter, they did not show up for the interview and did not respond to any of my follow-ups. Highly unprofessional.

First round on phone - basic questions
Second Round - in person with hiring manager
Met with the hiring manager in person in Boston Office for 1 hour interview. Nice office, good treatment.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Klaviyo (Boston, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Phone interview - fine and standard
Zoom interview with technical questions focused on statistics and probability - the interviewer was less than enthused to be there and/or he had the classic New England sullenness. Friendly when pointing out mistakes and things I could have done better with the coding and probability questions.
When I emailed Klaviyo two days after that Zoom interview that I had gotten an offer that I needed to respond to and double checking that they were not planning on making me an offer or request a 3rd+ interview by the other company's deadline I didn't get a response.
