Process
I had to complete two tests after applying:
- A code test with three questions of increasing difficulty, featuring standard algorithmic problems. This took approximately 1-2 hours.
- A logical reasoning test, which took about 20 minutes.
Following these assessments, I spoke with the recruiter and then completed a coding test with two Klarna engineers.

Good pay, very high chaotic environment
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Warsaw, Masovia
January 8, 2026
Pros: The company is very agile, and you could end up working very close to the CEO and others very early if you are lucky. Salaries are great, and benefits too.
Cons: Very chaotic organization, branded as fast-paced but in reality it’s just a large startup on some projects which can lead to awful PR disasters. Other teams, though, are very organized, and as for a chaotic organization, this is team-dependent instead of being company-wide.
