I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Estocolmo, ) in Nov 2019
Interview
The most thorough recruiting process I've experienced so far. However, as all steps were highly relevant, the feedback clear and transparent, and the recruitment representative unusually engaged and supportive throughout the whole process, for me this was more of a motivating quality marker than anything else.
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.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (París) in Oct 2025
Interview
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.
