Process

The interview process at Klarna has improved significantly. It was the best interview experience I've had so far, with all interviewers being very friendly and laid-back.

The process began with a simple logic test, followed by a phone screening with HR. After the screening, I was assigned some coding exercises.

Upon completing the exercises, I was invited for two onsite interviews:

  • One was more behavioral, focusing on questions about my current position and work experience.
  • The other involved a code review and improvement of my online exercises, where I also described a project I had worked on.

Finally, I had a last set of onsite interviews, including a technical interview and a behavioral interview with the team lead.

The people at Klarna seemed very cool, and the company culture appeared very tech-centered. The technical interviews are not difficult as long as you know your field well; I found the behavioral interviews more challenging overall. The HR/recruiter was very helpful throughout the process.
