I went forward with the first step of the interview which was a logics test. It was 15 or so questions in figuring out the next pattern. I thought I did well but turns out I didn’t and they could not move forward with the process. I find that very odd that a short quiz is a dealbreaker for the role.

Interview
They run various of interviews to determine your level/interest. You get to meet many people and teams. There are three stages you need to pass, skills,bar raiser and the team fit.
Uncommunicative and not very transparent. The test before hand is elitist and unnecessary. I don’t see its value Andy would prefer it to be a requirement post being shortlisted for the role rather than automatically.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Klarna in Jun 2021
Interview
A few weeks after applying was reached out to by HR for an intro phone call followed by a logic test (super easy, no stress). Second round was 1 hour video chat with senior leadership - high level, asked about leadership principles and how they relate to me. Third round was a 1 hour video chat with a hiring manager - more situational case based "what would you do if" "how would you explain this". Fourth round was a more traditional case interview.
Everyone was very straightforward during the interview process, great coordination, and transparent with expectations. Easy to talk to and felt more conversational than interrogational.
