Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter in mid-February and received an offer in mid-May. The whole process was very stressful, as I constantly had to prompt the recruiter for updates. Days would go by without an email, even though I was told I would receive one.

The people I met at their Stockholm office were very nice and professional. I received an offer but decided to turn it down. As others have mentioned, they offered a very low salary. The comments I saw on Glassdoor about this company made me doubt if it was worth moving there and struggling with the issues described.

I flew to Stockholm for the onsite interview and paid for everything except the hotel out of my own pocket. A month later, I was reimbursed less than what I paid for travel expenses and was not reimbursed for food. This also had to come out of my own pocket.

They have serious problems with their recruiting process; I suggest they look into it.

Overall, I had a negative experience interviewing with Klarna.
