The interview process has multiple steps. For me, those were:
After the coding challenge, they decided not to proceed.
I really enjoyed meeting and talking with the recruiter. They did a really nice job outlining the process and presenting Klarna.
The part I did not like as much is all these online tests. They take away the option for discussions and asking questions about their practices while you're implementing, which could lead to a better experience and solution.
They are designed to be done in a single go. They aren't really hard but require some focused time, so take the time needed. The evaluation criteria seemed a bit stricter than I expected. I don't mind that, however, and I appreciate that they passed the feedback about their concerns.
I also understand that this is probably due to high demand. And I guess we accept the rules of the game when we apply. :)
Overall, it's an experience, and part of the process is also to figure out if the match works for both sides. In this case, it did not.
It's a short pattern recognition test.
