Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany

Process

I was contacted by a Klarna recruiter, who was kind and helpful.

I first completed an online logical test (15 minutes) and an online coding challenge test that I needed to submit within a week.

The feedback was positive, so I was invited to two on-site interviews in Berlin.

The first technical interview was with two engineers, but unfortunately, I wasn't prepared for a whiteboard interview (I'm not sure if I was communicated this information).

The second interview was with a Team Lead, consisting mostly of behavioral questions.

I received positive feedback from the Team Lead and the engineers, but my performance on the whiteboard wasn't enough to continue with the process.

All in all, it was a nice experience.

Questions

  1. Given a matrix with obstacles, determine the number of possible paths from point A to B.

  2. Given a fixed camera in a forest (with predefined trees), find the best angle at which the camera pictures the maximum number of trees.
