Recruiter screen - Standard questions around past experiences, role, and expectations.

IQ test - This was new to me but pretty easy, I must say.

HM round - Behavioral scenarios about your past experiences.

Onsite: Coding - Not LeetCode style, mostly around practical stuff like making changes to a code repo they ask you to modify.

System design - Not generic, like "design a WhatsApp messenger." It's specific to Klarna use cases, so I'd say prepare a bit on payments domain-related questions.

Staff engineer round - This is more of a culture fit round; very technically in-depth and challenging.

I liked my interactions overall; everyone was very positive. Even if I didn't get some things right, they steered me in the right direction. I passed the onsite, but the role was put on hold while awaiting the TeamFit round. However, by then, I had accepted an offer already, so I had to withdraw. But I would have strongly considered it otherwise.

If you cleared onsite, then Teamfit round.
