Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden

Process

First, I got a call from a recruiter. He asked about my interest in relocating to Stockholm and gave me an idea about Klarna, also asking some general questions about my experience and professional background.

Then, I had an online coding assessment consisting of solving two problems, which was pretty easy.

Next, I had a 3-hour interview divided into two parts. The first was technical and included a coding part (adding some functionalities to an existing project) and a system design part. The second was more like a discussion about Klarna principles and how I would react in different situations.

Then, I took a logical reasoning test. It involved three shapes and multiple choices for the fourth one, which was also easy.

Finally, I had a final interview that consisted of:

  1. A meeting about the relocation package that Klarna offers (it is really good, by the way).
  2. A technical interview, mainly focused on system design.
  3. A behavioral interview, where I had to prepare some situations from my previous experience that demonstrated my proficiency with Klarna's leadership principles.
  4. Finally, a meeting with team members I would join if I moved there. This was a chance for me to ask questions about anything I might be interested in.

I received an offer but rejected it because it was well beyond my expectations. But, away from that, the people there seem professional and the company in general looks good.
