      Software Engineer Interview

      22 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna

      Interview

      The recruiter first sent me a simple logic test, which I completed. I thought I must have failed as I didn't hear anything for two weeks until they asked me to do the test again, to which I replied that I already had. It turned out I had got full marks but they just made some processing mistake. The second stage was a video call with the same recruiter, who made some frankly inappropriate political comments during the conversation, which was off-putting to say the least. I also had to interrupt after the first few minutes of the call, as I realised the recruiter was giving me information about a role I hadn't applied for, in a location that I wasn't applying for. For the third stage, I then completed a technical test that was pretty straight forward and took around two hours to complete. A few days later I was told that I wouldn't be given an interview. I wasn't particularly disappointed based on my experiences up to that point but to top it off, I asked for feedback on the technical test and was given vague and unhelpful answers, which summed up to 'over engineering' but without any specific detail for which I could learn from. Overall, a pretty terrible experience and I seriously doubt I would have taken the application further, should there have been interest on Klarna's part.

      Application

      I interviewed at Klarna (Berlin)

      Interview

      it consisted of 3 parts, HR, technical, behavioural. The technical part was a leetcode hard problem but they did not expect a hard solution. The behavioural was related to leadership principles similar to most companies.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Paris) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      I had a second experience with Klarna. After the ghosting of last year, Klarna reach out again for a SWE position. The same happened. After the first discussion, I have been told again to book a slot for the second round. And then... no news from anyone. Second ghosting. Klarna has a terrible HR process and policy. I feel like I dodge a bullet here. The work environment might be pretty toxic if it is aligned with the HR practices.
