I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Berlin) in Dec 2020
Interview
The first interview which is speaking with the recruiter responsible for the position it went well. He was very nice, professional, and explained everything clearly. BUT, after this one, you will have to take a test. A logical reasoning test which from my perspective makes no sense for this position. It is supposed to see how you work under pressure. Really?! A test where you need to guess the right answer? Maybe you are ''smart'' enough and you get it right. They explained me why is it necessary but seriously, you can't judge the capabilities and way of reasoning of people from that.
Nice company, nice first interview. You should work on that step of the process so you won't keep losing good candidates.

Question 1
the interview was easy with questions like previous experience, under pressure situations etc
Completely ghosted me after 1-hour interview where they promised reply soon. No information back at all about the decision. Shows all you need to know about the level of "professional" they are.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (London, England)
Interview
Klarna have an odd process. Some good interviews, but more upfront detail about them would be beneficial. The sourcing test is managed by a Sourcer, my experience was that this person is not a skilled interviewer. To improve experience I would suggest to have this step as a sourcing test only.
I was informed I would have received an offer if my comp expectations were lower. Which then just meant the process was a waste of time and something that could have been communicated up front. So communicating the ranges for each role you are being considered for would be helpful and potentially reduce churn.
