      Front End Developer Interview

      24 Jun 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Stockholm, Stockholm
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, Stockholm) in May 2020

      Interview

      I started the interview for front-end position, i had an initial conversation with the recruiter who was pretty kind. 1. - The first part of the process quiz testing logic, it was not code related. 2.- I had a call with the same kind of test with some one watching via hangouts, just to make sure i was not cheating. (i think this was an unnecessary part of the process) 3 .- They sent a coding task to solve it whenever time is available, shouldn't take more than 2 hours, no time limit and it could be done in any language. They evaluate the code quality and correctness. 4.- I had an online interview that i don't really remember what it was about. 5.- The onsite interview was the most difficult one, they asked system design related questions, it was one of my weakness since i'm a front end engineer, i do css and stuff, so at that point i just knew the basics (So i failed because of my own mistakes). Also, They ask me to solve an easy task and if you don't come up with the handy way, most probably you won't pass, they expect you to do your own tests and do it without they asking you to do them and again if you don't do it, most likely you won't pass since they put a lot of attention to that. The second hour i had a bar raiser behavioral interview, just try to demonstrate the Klarna principles and you'll be good. Overall, i felt misunderstood the whole time, the interviewer was making faces when i was wrong, not giving me much time to think, correcting me, teaching me stuff on the spot and made me loose confidence. Conclusion I think the technical questions i got asked doesn't demonstrate how good you are as a developer, i would choose some other questions to ask. In my case they where going to relocate me to a different continent, so it's understandable the interview was that hard. Also learned a lot from the onsite interview, i would apply again if i had the opportunity. I really felt disappointed with myself because the process took around 2 months, i had like 7 calls and end up in a rejection.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, Stockholm)

      Interview

      It was a terrible experience. After an IQ test which I completed I was scheduled an online interview in JavaScript which I passed successfully. Then they put me on a plane to Stockholm. I should have known better than let them schedule the flight and hotel. They put me on the cheapest flight possible. After that they put me in the cheapest hotel possible. After walking to their office I had another IQ test and then the nightmare started. They put me in a room with 2 interviewers. Both of them did not speak english as a native tongue and I had to listen to questions in broken English I could hardly understand. One had a terrible accent. The other had terrible accent and some orthodontic fix which made her speech barely intelligible. They proceeded to ask me questions which were not found in the job description regarding backend, devops, infrastructure, architecture, monitoring, alerting, log aggregation, database synchronization, sharding and such. They were upset I was focused on front end development, even though that was the position I was applying for I wouldn't mind If I hadn't already asked before the flight if not knowing these subjects would be an issue. To which they replied "not a problem at all, it's a front end role". They were not smart enough to understand my answers and when I gave a simple example of putting a website on a host like GoDaddy they actually thought I believed the idea of deploying a solution to production environment for an enterprise product is "buying a domain from godaddy" The day was scheduled to last a few more hours but as soon as they realized I don't have the qualifications which they said are not important they cancelled everything and sent me home. I told them they should have done their homework and be honest with the real job requirements before putting me on a plane to frigid Sweden and wasting my time. Don't waste your time on them. Apparently they believe they don't have to write actual job requirements and expect you to just have them because "you are in the industry and we expected you to have these skills" The interview was difficult but only because they asked questions for domains not found in the job description requirements, after telling me those subjects are not required. That is unethical and dishonest and wasting applicant time

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If you were a CTO what would you do? how would you run the company technical side? How would you build the product? What architecture would you use? Who would you hire? and why?
