I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna in Jan 2022
Interview
One of the worst experiences I had.
Their HR reached out to me and I didn't apply for Klarna directly. after having a logical test and code challenge they back to me with positive feedback and asked me for free time slots for the final interview and also a copy of my passport for checking what type visa they should provide for me.
After providing this, I got no following email from them even a reject email which was so unprofessional.
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.
