A couple of weeks after I applied, I was invited to attempt an online IQ test.

In quick succession after this test (within 2 days each) were an interview with the HR Recruiter, with the hiring manager, and a technical interview with two engineers.

All interviewers were very professional and highly knowledgeable in their domain. The interviews were not easy, but the interviewers never put me on the spot or made me feel uncomfortable, and as a result, I was able to do my best.

After this, I was invited for an on-site interview in Stockholm, for which my travel and stay were promptly arranged (I flew in from a non-EU country).

The on-site interviews were also very well organized. They were four back-to-back interviews in the first half of the day. I felt at ease throughout.

I especially enjoyed the live-coding test and felt that it is a very good way to test a candidate's skills (as opposed to textbook questions which might serve a candidate's memory at best).

The HR Recruiter always kept me in the loop regarding any updates in my application and in the hiring process.

I enjoyed the interviews a lot and am now looking forward to starting work at Klarna!

They described a fictitious 'requirement' and asked me to design a software solution for it. It led to a healthy and enjoyable discussion.
