Software Developer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
An in-house recruiter got in touch.
I took an IQ test the next day and was called in for an interview after five days. The interview took place at Klarna's Stockholm office.
Two developers and I were crammed into a small interview room with a glass board that was un-writable with marker pens. The space felt extremely claustrophobic.
The ensuing discussion was quite okay, but I got the feeling that the interviewers were not well-suited to conducting interviews.
