Let's just call him "Mike". He contacted me about a position at Klarna. For a European startup/business, they are quite big. He asked me some tech questions, which he clearly didn't understand, and then let me know there was a logic test I had to perform. This is typically a red flag when dealing with a company, but this is Europe and a bit old-fashioned when it comes to tech. So I studied for it, as I haven't had to take one in years.

Eventually, I completed the test. Then, no feedback for 3 days. So I reached out. He said he would get back to me, but he didn't until the following week. I told him that after the effort spent taking the test, I would like the results. He still hasn't gotten back to me over a week later.

I find this very unprofessional for several reasons:

• Promises were not kept (recruiter's fault). Eventually, he said they never release this detail, even though he didn't say that before.
• Telling candidates their score immediately is trivial, seeing as it's software (Klarna's obligation).

Overall, not a very positive experience. It leaves the candidate wondering what happened. A better candidate came along. Sure, I get it. Wages were too high, it happens, or I didn't pass the test. Okay, I know what I have to work on. Klarna, you can do better than this.

Oddly enough, I was contacted again the following week about basically the same position. Kind of a facepalm moment.

Also, Klarna, since this was a QA position, there is a bug in the Logic Quiz: When proceeding back, it removes the user's previously selected answer if it was completed. This is a typical no-no. Software should never delete user selections.
