Two Product Manager reports on Klaviyo describe somewhat different paths, but both start with a recruiter or HR screen and both include an assessment. Expect an assessment step even though this is a PM role. One candidate was sent a CodeSignal online assessment after an easy recruiter call, did not pass it, and was told at least two more rounds would have followed, with about five rounds in total. The other reported a technical assessment shortly after a hiring-manager interview and described four stages overall.
The conversations candidates describe lean situational. One recalled questions about how they would handle product decisions and tradeoffs, plus a question about how they feel about AI that seemed aimed at their product thinking rather than a rehearsed answer. The other was asked standard motivation questions, including why they wanted to work at Klaviyo, so a specific, company-focused answer is worth preparing.
Logistics deserve some planning. One candidate waited about two weeks for the earliest HR screening slot, and their final stage was four back-to-back interviews on a Friday that required a day off work. Both candidates in this set ended with no offer, and one said a request for feedback went unanswered. That is a small sample, so treat it as an indication of what can happen rather than a fixed format.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
One candidate heard from a recruiter by email and through the candidate portal and called the first conversation straightforward, mostly a basic screen. Another was contacted about an HR screening, but the earliest available slot was about two weeks away, so scheduling can take time.
One candidate was given a CodeSignal online assessment after the recruiter call and did not pass it. Another described a technical assessment that followed shortly after the hiring-manager interview. The reports do not detail the content, so ask your recruiter what format to expect.
One candidate was advanced to a hiring-manager interview after the HR screening, and the technical assessment came shortly afterward. The report gives no further detail on what was covered, so prepare a clear account of your background and your reasons for wanting this role.
One candidate described interviews that were very situational, geared toward how they would handle product decisions and tradeoffs in real scenarios. They were also asked how they feel about AI, which seemed to probe product thinking around a current trend rather than a canned answer.
One candidate's final stage was back-to-back interviews with four different people on a Friday, which meant taking a day off work. Across that candidate's conversations, questions included standard motivation prompts such as why they wanted to work at Klaviyo. A rejection from HR followed the next Monday.
