I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna in Dec 2020
Interview
I applied for a position in Sweden
All the interview process took almost a month. First they send you coding test online with some complexity.
After that, you have a couple of interviews (technical-code live/culture-team) in a single day for almost three hours.
After doing all the process and thought it had went very well they told me a negative answer without any explanation
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about the company? Products, teams, as much as you know it's better.
For the technical side, questions about the coding live and architecture of this program
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.
