Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany

Process

My interview journey with Klarna was perplexingly lengthy, spanning over 9 weeks.

It began with an HR call, followed by a demanding online coding task. Subsequent stages included:

  • A technical chat with a manager
  • A deep technical coding interview with an engineering manager

Unfortunately, the latter was marred by aggressiveness and rudeness, leaving a negative impression.

What's even more disheartening is the lack of communication post-interview. Despite the extensive time investment, I received no update on my status, which is both unprofessional and discourteous.

Overall, Klarna's interview process felt unorganized and inefficient. The timeline, demanding tasks, and poor communication create a frustrating experience for candidates. I hope Klarna takes this feedback constructively to improve the interview process for future candidates.
