Onestamente uno dei peggiori iter mai affrontati. Screening HR rimandato più volte con una latenza di risposta incredibile. Ricevo la comunicazione 30 minuti prima del colloquio, fornisco immediatamente nuove disponibilità, ricevo risposta dopo 4-5 giorni. Successivamente ricevo un assignment abbastanza impegnativo da fare entro 7 giorni lavorativi, la cui traccia però è assolutamente insufficiente a comprendere bene l'obiettivo e il contesto. I dati su cui lavorare sono pieni di anomalie, ho pensato che potesse essere parte dell'assignment e chiedo spiegazioni in maniera molto proattiva e mostrando di averci sbattuto la testa. Anche in questo caso ricevo risposta dopo giorni e stringatissima (tipo 3 o 4 parole), assolutamente inutile a risolvere i miei problemi. Concludo comunque l'assignment evidenziando le cose che non mi tornano, consegno e non ricevo mai più risposta.
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna in Mar 2022
Interview
I interviewed for Data Science: Fraud Analytics team (various level) The interview process included a very simple logical aptitude test, 30 min screening call with senior HR, followed by a supervised abstract logical reasoning test. The next step is an ML case study which requires performing EDA, machine learning modeling, and deployment of the solution on the cloud platform of your choice. This task required end-to-end ML pipeline implementation. The last stage interview went great but got rejected with the excuse that they wanted someone more senior. If that was the case, they should have mentioned the level required in the job description and not "various levels".
After a brief conversation with a recruiter, I was invited to talk to a hiring manager, who was really rude. He asked for my salary expectation, and I said "I am currently getting xxxx", and he said "you are not worth that salary."
A lot of steps that you have to prepare for. It takes time.
HR, ML task, Technical interview, Klarna fit interview, another technical interview, and finally team fit interview. You have to prepare well for each process to stand a chance.
