I was contacted by a recruiter. The first call was pretty neat.
The take-home task was quite interesting, though not fully related to the role.
I received good feedback on the task and was invited for a video call with one of the directors.
This was an uncomfortable interview where I mostly received prompt, uninformative answers to my questions and no detailed questions about my background or skills. The interview took half of the scheduled time and ended promptly after the salary expectation question.
I think, from both sides, it was not a fit to work together. However, from my perspective, the other side could not handle this "unfit".
In the end, I did not receive any feedback, despite a reminder email, which I find unprofessional given the effort I put into the process.
Putting Klarna aside as an employer (I see the incident rather personally), I won't be applying for a similar role there in the near future.
