The interview process itself was quite lengthy, with many interviews. However, it was also very thorough and gave me an opportunity to meet many different people across the organization. That process helped me make a decision and accept the offer I received.

The whole interview process was very professional and was divided into phone, online (video), and on-site interviews. For the engineering position, an IQ test (pattern recognition) and coding tests were conducted. All of these should be easy to pass for an average engineer.

I do have mixed feelings about conducting IQ tests during an interview process. I don't personally mind them, but there are studies suggesting that there is no direct correlation between intelligence, analytical, and logical thinking processes. Klarna might actually miss out on good candidates by using IQ tests.

I'm also impressed by Klarna's recruiters. If all of them are as talented as the person I interacted with, that would be awesome.

I can't actually think of an unexpected or difficult question asked. The toughest one for me was probably, "What would be required of us for you to accept our offer?"
