Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Klarna en avr. 2021
Entretien
The selection process is composed of 6 main steps:
1) first interview with HR
2) online coding challenge
3) logic test - this is done while being in call with the HR
4) first round of technical and leadership principles interviews
5) second round of technical and leadership principles interviews
6) eventual final interview with the hiring manager (team fitting)
The HR is always in contact with you and helps advising on material to view to prepare for the interview.
Only flaw: I got offered a salary lower than mine, and when I tried to get it upgraded it a little bit I was told there is absolutely no room for negotiation. This is not necessarily an interview issue but it definitely ruined the overall enjoyability of the hiring process due to the time waste. Maybe next time it would be useful to share the salary ranges beforehand when asked.
Questions d'entretien [3]
Question 1
Tell me about one time you had an argument with a colleague
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.
