I spent a decent amount of time tailoring a resume and cover letter for an organizational development position with Klarna.

After submitting, I received an automated email stating they would get back to me with a logic test if they found me to be a good fit.

The logic test was sent to me literally 10 minutes later and was a complete joke for evaluating potential hires for Klarna.

My process was the same as other reviews: I was shown three boxes with patterns and asked to identify the pattern for the fourth empty box based on the previous ones. I had to solve 10 of them in 15 minutes.

A few days later, I received an email stating my score was too low to advance to the next round, with absolutely no explanation or score provided. Klarna HR, why do you do this?

This logic test is silly and in no way an indicator of how someone would perform in an OrgDev role.

To make matters worse, the automated rejection email stated I could not apply for at least one year, as the test results are kept in the system for 365 days.

I am very upset with Klarna and will be sure to share my experiences with others looking for positions.

Why a company would treat people who would kill to work for them like this, I do not know.

I did not get to the interview to be asked questions.
