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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Klarna leadership principles and how they relate to you or how you can exemplify them through your past experiences
-What do you know about Klarna
-How would you explain Klarna to someone who doesn't know anything about it
-Challenges you see with Klarna
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.
