I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2020
Interview
Got a link for logic test. Don't think it's very hard but not so easy to guess all correctly with limited time. Has nothing to do with programming or data analysis skill. The test itself is like, four grids ahead, each grid has few black dots. Based on the pattern, guess the 5th grid with the right dots pattern from the options provided. I got the result after the test within 2 hours. Like this:
"Thank you for completing our logical reasoning assessment. We have now reviewed your results in conjunction with your application, and have decided to proceed with other candidates."
The next time you apply will be after 365daya, when you can access to the test again.
The process felt fairly structured but not overwhelming. It started with an initial recruiter call, where I was asked about my background, motivation, and what I knew about Klarna. Next came a business case round – the case was straightforward, focusing on interpreting simple product data and explaining trends without over-complicating things. The final stage was a team/manager interview, which leaned more on behavioral questions like how I handle conflicts, my career goals, and why I wanted Klarna specifically. Overall, the case was on the easier side, and the main challenge was presenting confidently and showing cultural fit.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Estocolmo, )
Interview
It was 3 round interview process.
1 - chat with a recruiter, very generic, where they explained the company values and the taks
2 - This was a very easy business case without the possibility to use calculator, there was an imaginary product to lunch in a market and they were showing some graphs. Very very easy and to be performed in front of a Senior Analyst.
3 - Interview with the hiring manager and the team. Vey easy questions regarding how I handle conflicts and what would I do in certain scenaros.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years, why Klarna, what do you know about the company, these very usual questions.
4 rounds interview then paused due to company reorganisation . Interviewers are generally quite nice but the hiring system sounds bit unprofessional. Interviews were with HR and different members in the team.
