I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna in Sep 2021
Interview
Applied online. Recruiter called to discuss next steps. I was given a take home exercise and 1 week to finish it. Submitted a project and got feedback within 2 weeks.

Question 1
Gave a take-home project to implement weather app. Given an API (Years old with API deprecated way back so you have to find a workaround).
Make a call to weather API and show the data for the current location. Got back to me in 2 weeks with rejection with a rude feedback and weird suggestion how they wanted me to implement things. For reference, I submitted similar architecture for 5 other companies and they all gave a big thumbs up to me, but Klarna seemed to be an outlier so I don't feel bad about rejection.
Suggestion: Try to do things MVC way since team seemed to be interested that way. If you want to go to better companies, use this company as a launchpad since current employees don't seem to be happy anyway
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2026
Interview
The process involves several stages. The first is an online logic test to evaluate your pattern recognition skills. Subsequently, HR will invite you to a remote online meeting so they can get to know you better. They do not hire for a specific team/role and will instead see if you match with any of their teams.

Question 1
1. What do you know about Klarna
2. You experience.
A few steps with HR. Then 3 different technical steps:
- Challenge to complete at home
- Live coding
- System Design
The system design interview was the longest, about 2 hours. The idea was discussing how to implement a new feature on a website.

I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Milan) in Oct 2024
Interview
Il contatto delle risorse umane mi ha spiegato tutto del processo in anticipo, affinché mi fosse chiaro. Dopo averci conosciuti ho partecipato a tre colloqui tecnici da remoto, su: il disegno dei sistemi (system design), la programmazione (live programming) e il comportamento (STAR behavioural interview).
