The first step was a normal phone screen with a recruiter. We discussed myself, Klarna, and the role in general.

After that, I received instructions to complete an IQ test from Kattis. It consisted of 15 logical pattern questions – your standard logical IQ test, really.

Upon completing that, I was granted access to step 2, which comprised two separate coding challenges on a third-party platform. The focus was on test-driven development, so it was designed around unit test executions.

Both challenges had a time limit of 2 hours. I used the time fully, making it 4 hours in total. This is a considerable chunk of time to set aside if you work full-time.

I completed the challenges and submitted them. I haven't heard a word from Klarna since, not even after contacting them again to ask about an update.

Very unprofessional.
