I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna in Sep 2021
Interview
Applied online. Recruiter called to discuss next steps. I was given a take home exercise and 1 week to finish it. Submitted a project and got feedback within 2 weeks.

Question 1
Gave a take-home project to implement weather app. Given an API (Years old with API deprecated way back so you have to find a workaround).
Make a call to weather API and show the data for the current location. Got back to me in 2 weeks with rejection with a rude feedback and weird suggestion how they wanted me to implement things. For reference, I submitted similar architecture for 5 other companies and they all gave a big thumbs up to me, but Klarna seemed to be an outlier so I don't feel bad about rejection.
Suggestion: Try to do things MVC way since team seemed to be interested that way. If you want to go to better companies, use this company as a launchpad since current employees don't seem to be happy anyway
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.

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).
