I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna in Jul 2021
Interview
The whole process was actually pretty nice. It consists in two parts, the first part is a bit weird because it has a coding test that could easily be a HackerRank challenge, but it is pretty easy and straightforward.
It also has a cognitive thinking challenge and a cultural fit interview. The whole process took about 3 hours, and it was conducted perfectly by an account manager. Actually, this was probably one of my smoothest interviews.
The second part has another coding test (hence why I think the first one should be a challenge), this one is more complicated and focused on the team's challenges, but nothing outside of this world and indeed nothing too complex. It's completely doable, there's also an architectural challenge which is done completely on Miro, just talking about it.
The whole process was pretty simple, it happened fast and it was very communicative, they've been telling me about my pace at every step.
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Estocolmo, ) in Mar 2026
Interview
The process involves several stages. The first is an online logic test to evaluate your pattern recognition skills. Subsequently, HR will invite you to a remote online meeting so they can get to know you better. They do not hire for a specific team/role and will instead see if you match with any of their teams.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What do you know about Klarna
2. You experience.
A few steps with HR. Then 3 different technical steps:
- Challenge to complete at home
- Live coding
- System Design
The system design interview was the longest, about 2 hours. The idea was discussing how to implement a new feature on a website.

I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Milán) in Oct 2024
Interview
Il contatto delle risorse umane mi ha spiegato tutto del processo in anticipo, affinché mi fosse chiaro. Dopo averci conosciuti ho partecipato a tre colloqui tecnici da remoto, su: il disegno dei sistemi (system design), la programmazione (live programming) e il comportamento (STAR behavioural interview).
