Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I got an email from Klarna (Manheim) in Apr 2022, asking me to choose a convenient date for an interview for a reasoning test.
Attended the test online while the recruiter asked me to keep my video on.
18 questions (all of them are dots patter) have to be completed in 15minutes. After a couple of days, I received an email stating that they found another suitable candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online analytical reason test, which was not much difficult.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Klarna (Estocolmo, ) in Jan 2025
Interview
Screening interview, then Cultural Fit in parallel with a case interview, they added a technical interview more connected to system design, then meeting other L4.5s, and offer after a few weeks. The interviews were rushed and I felt interviewers checking boxes instead of trying to establish a meaningful connection
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to keep engineers motivated during challenging times?
During the behavioral interview the interviewer was not experienced and wasted a lot of time discussing experiences from years ago instead of more recent related experiences
I didn't push forward for the next steps in the end but I didn't get a very good impression
Solid and well run, got to meet quite a few people from the Engineering Organization. I wouldn't change anything, as this process totally met my expectations, even though it took a bit longer that I wanted it to.
