Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Klarna
It was a very long process with a lot of interviews. It wasn’t clear what role I was interviewing for so the conversations around work were generic. They seemed like an interesting company. They wouldn’t put their offer to me on paper even after asking multiple times, which ended up in leading me to decline.
- Tell us about how you lead to a positive change for your organization.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Klarna
Everything went very smooth. Staff looks very nice and professional. But it is unnecessarily long, especially for the two iq tests. The offered salary is lower than average. It seems like a pretty good company.
- why klarna? what do you know about us?

I interviewed at Klarna
everything went pretty well and people I interacted with are friendly and nice. They are professional but the overall length is a bit too long. Especially the first two rounds IQ test

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Klarna
This was an on campus drive. A coding test was conducted on hackerrank of 2 questions with time limit of 90 minutes.. questions were not too easy.. i would say medium.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Klarna
Two interviewees in the first round, they are very friendly. I get a task, you need to add some code to make it works. the interviewees will give you some hints to help you when necessary.
- What are you mainly responsible for in project x (my previous project)?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna
Long, tedious process. Inefficient and not in line with the rest of the market. I withdrew as with a demanding job currently and interviews elsewhere - a 5 stage process is not a valuable use of time.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Berlin
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Berlin) in Jan 2023
The first step in the process was the reasoning test. I passed it. Then had a call with the recruiter, who was very friendly and nice, and immediately after the call got informed I passed to the next round, which consists of 2 calls, and after both calls, there would be the outcome. When I had the call with the first person on the technical side, that person thought I was someone else, a referral from a colleague so immediately I noticed something was off. Then during the call, the person was shifting moods and decisions, and opinions all the time, ending up confusing me. That person looked totally underqualified to host these interviews, or was not prepared at all. Also, it seemed to me that they had this referral set up for this position. Then after this call the recruiter said we will not have a second call because my first call was below the passing grade, even though the outcome of that round was consisting of 2 calls. Very bad experience, will not apply again to them. They seem to have a very high opinion of themselves, and underqualified people hosting interviews and getting power over their heads.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna
I had a first interview with the HR person that contacted me on LinkedIn. Standard HR interview on my skills and on what Klarna was searching for. They sent me a technical programming test to perform on an online platform telling me that after having completed it they would have given me feedback. I completed the test (with correct results) but I received no feedback at all, even after I contacted the recruiter to ask for news. Really disappointing.
- Online technical programming test to be performed on an online platform.

Anonymous Employee
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna
Logic test followed by a phone screening, then a coding assignment. Another logic test (supervised), followed by a culture fit interview and a technical interview (coding task). Took about four weeks in total.
- Leadership principles, challenging situations at past positions.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Klarna
Multiple steps in the process, including a logical thinking test. The recruiter informed me upfront very well about every step, what to expect, how long will the interview take and who will be interviewing. Overall a good experience.
- There was also a case study done during one of the interviews. I was told that beforehand and the material was only shared in the call as previously informed.
