Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
June 1, 2021
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
By far the worst recruitment experience. Useless processes.
The interview should be simple and clear:
- Recruiter
- Hiring Manager
- Meet the team
Test challenges are worthless for people with 5+ years of experience and do not prove anything.

Pros: Klarna was my first job straight out of university. During my time there I've learned so much and grew a lot professionally. It's a great place for juniors looking to gain a set of skills and expertise.
Cons: Not much I can say, as working in a big corporate can feel like your contribution is a drop in the sea, but that is true for all big companies.
