J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Klarna (Stockholm, ) en janv. 2020
Entretien
First step was a normal phone screen with a recruiter, we discussed myself, Klarna and the role in general.
After that I recieved instructions to complete an IQ-test from Kattis. 15 logical pattern questions. Your standard logical IQ test really.
Upon completing that I was granted access to step 2, which consisted of two separate coding challanges on a third party coding challenge platform. Focus was on test driven development, so it was designed around unit test executions.
Both challenges had a time limit of 2 hours. I used the time fully. So 4 hours in total, a considerable chunk of time to set aside if you work full time.
I completed the challenges and sent them in.
Haven't heard a word from Klarna since. Not even after contacting them again asking about an update.
Very unprofessional.
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.
