Glad I got rejected:
(1) Pre Screen - Amazing recruiter who was very kind
(2) Logical test (Passed that)
(3) Skills Interview - This.
-The person who interviewed me was just plain bad.
-The ego on this person's face was felt in my entire house. Cut me off in between answers, asked me questions to make it seem the interviewer has made their mind up to reject me from the 1st minute because whatever I said (backing up with examples) were not received well.
-When asked follow up questions, the interviewer seem disinterested and some weren't even answered.
Overall, a horrible experience.
And guess what? This was maybe the 1st of their 765 rounds of interviews.
Advice: Please don't let your candidates jump hoops for you when you lay them off IN A PRE-RECORDED video.
Also a big advice: Train your employees to interview. Klarna behaves like a wannabe FAANG but lacks the empathy of interviewing.
P.S.: The interviewer had said everyone at Klarna is humble. That's definitely laughable from the way they portrayed their personality. (No offence to other Klarnauts)
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Estocolmo, ) in Feb 2025
Interview
Structured
Smart people
Standard questions
I just have the feeling some things have been unsaid regarding the culture, might pursue Klarna later instead.
I appreciated the interview setup and discussions.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna
Interview
The first round was fine--typical screener going over the role. Second round I think was ridiculous--an intelligence test. I took the test with a proctor, and found out I failed. No feedback, and no room to improve. Bizarre.
