What is the salary like at Klarna?

Good benefits, good pay (above the market avg) and smart colleagues.

Decision making process could be better explained, including criteria for promotions and salary increases.

Flexible hours, relatively good pay for the position that it is, lots of AI automations so you are doing very little unnecessary work.

No feedback to ways of working is given from managers but it's visible that you are being watched and measured by your stats only, they ask for honest feedback and what can be improved but largely turn down/ dismiss suggestions, micromanagement, intransparent communication around everything (long-term planning, short-term ad hoc decisions). Huge changes occur all the time without explanation with the expectation that this is just to be accepted. You are being told the bare minimum of what's necessary for you to know and no bit more than that. This leads to constant anxiety and constantly pending job insecurity. They really make you feel how replaceable you are to them. Zero small talk in meetings, no praise or "well done" ever just additional pressure on getting stats up, no feeling of project team belonging is fostered and they'd prefer for everyone to work with as little communication with others as somehow possible. By far the most human-unfriendly and horrific work culture I've ever experienced.

Good flexibility, remote work, decent pay

Very unstable, role was outsorced

People were great to work with, and generally easygoing

Very tight on salaries, not a lot of room for upward mobility

* You can work with very friendly and inteligent people * You work in a product with millions of users

* It depends from team to team, I heard great experiences and horrible experiences at Klarna it only depends on which team you are * The compensation I think is the worst, I think most of companies in stockholm will pay a better salary

- Flexible work remote policy

Simply compare Klarna on Glassdoor to other companies in the same industry and you'll see just how terribly rated they are, and for good reason- complete leadership disconnect, poor pay & bonus structure, and a genuinely depressed culture characterized by large majority burnout with a few leaders desperately trying to keep spirits high but with little luck. What started as a fun job for an exciting, up-and-coming company 3.5 years ago quickly spiraled for the following reasons: Poor Leadership: - Oppressive top-down culture - Most processes are dictated by C-suite level, to the point where they actually join routine calls to ensure the most tedious and inconsequential practices are addressed, which only fueled a culture of resentment. - What was once an encouraging and autonomous culture regressed into one full of fear and tension. Terrible Incentives: - External meetings are tracked and then at the end of each week there's actually a poll showing which teams were the highest and lowest contributors. - Pay is below market rate. - Bonuses are non-existent. - After 3 years of covid we received only one 3% inflation raise, despite the company growing significantly each year and meeting most financial goals. Moreover, the entire process for the one raise we did receive was incredibly delayed and overhyped. - Each year they have you fill-out cumbersome performance plans and reviews that actually go nowhere. Overall, the company has deliberately created a high micro-management culture in preparation for an IPO with an obvious planned attrition strategy by way of increased oversight plus a slashing of benefits. What was once a great company that rewarded employees devolved into one that could care less about retention as the C-suite try to get rich quick and then promptly exit the company post-public offering.

Good pay, and flexible working hours.

Company dismissed very quick so be prepared for any changes.

Good people and generally nice atmosphere.

Salary range is pretty massive and a lot of changes in management lately.

Benefits, company culture, great learning, best for first job out of college

Low pay, no room for advancement, lack of leadership

good salary, nice people and office, nice culture.

Very uncertain company, things can change very fast and not in your favour as an employee. Each day can be your last day in the company because of 'structural changes'.
