      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      24 Apr 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Contacted by the agency then passed to an outsourced recruiter (always a bad sign). First talk with recruiter, pleasant enough to get an idea of skills and readiness for next step. Next step is IQ tests which after you pass you get link to online coding test. Passed IQ, passed coding. Next review of code and interview with two engineers, went well enough. Made improvements to code and talked about testing scenarios. Passed to Hiring manager, a pleasant one hour conversation about behavioral issues and motivation. EVERYTHING went well and the good news is now we need to go onsite to Sweden. At this point we start discussing relocation package and salary, which was kept on backburner. BIG MISTAKE. I read glassdoor reviews about low ball salary and still wasted my time. When it was time to go onsite they told me a really low salary and said it will not get better. I asked about relocation and the package was basic, no accommodation or other amenities. The recruiter told me after the onsite I could negotiate but wasn't so optimistic they would move their salary. She then proceeded to tell me I wasn't a senior anyway based on the feedback (FIRST TIME I AM HEARING THIS). Many excuses to justify the low salary. I had already decided to pretty much be prepared to decline after onsite but go for the experience when the contacted me back and told me they wouldn't go forward. Their reasoning , i wasn't senior enough they couldn't pay me more, they would have it train me too much as i lacked skill and finally it would be too expensive to relocate my family. All in all VERY Negative experience. Maybe if you are already in Berlin, maybe if you are single and just want adventure. Maybe if you dont mind being told you are not good enough. Don't waste hours and weeks interviewing here. it is not worth it.

      Application

      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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).
