J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Klarna (Berlin)
Entretien
Multiple aggressive unsolicited emails from HR. I agreed to do an interview. I spent several hours prepping. She was late to the interview, had a loud dog, bad internet connection, and made me 45 minutes late to my paying position. I was honest and then was not selected to move forward with no clear answer disclosed. I would suggest not wasting time with these people. They aren't very professional and don't really know what they want.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Questions about why I left a position, basic questions about technology used in previous positions that were already clearly stated on my cv before they contacted me. She continued to repeat questions as if I didn't understand but when I asked for more clarity she just repeated the same questions. More or less the entire process was a huge waste of time! They have no idea their plans are for my region, couldn't say what the company structure would be, hadn't discussed the position they wanted for me, did little to no research about my most recent work, ignored me when I said I already spent hours researching them and didn't need their generic spiel about their firm, nor couldn't say who either my direct boss nor coworkers could potentially be. No real strategy or clarity.
it consisted of 3 parts, HR, technical, behavioural. The technical part was a leetcode hard problem but they did not expect a hard solution. The behavioural was related to leadership principles similar to most companies.
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Klarna (Paris) en oct. 2025
Entretien
I had a second experience with Klarna. After the ghosting of last year, Klarna reach out again for a SWE position. The same happened. After the first discussion, I have been told again to book a slot for the second round. And then... no news from anyone.
Second ghosting. Klarna has a terrible HR process and policy.
I feel like I dodge a bullet here. The work environment might be pretty toxic if it is aligned with the HR practices.
