I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Klarna (Bremen, Bremen) in Sept 2020
Interview
Really bad experience from start to end. First, you receive a very bad simple IQ test questions. After I completed it 100%, they say I didn't pass the test. Are you kidding me? I'm pretty sure that I did well, they couldn't give a proper reason why they rejected me. This is a very rude and disgusting experience. Their product is just garbage, they lure young people to buy expensive things, that they cannot afford. They don't have any future in terms of banking
Colloquio conoscitivo, Colloquio di problema solving Colloquio tecnico Ogni colloquio è stato accompagnato da un colloquio di feedback con il recruiter per capire se ero anche da parte mia c'era ancora interesse a proseguire

Question 1
disegna un architettura a microservizi per una specifica richiesta funzionale
it consisted of 3 parts, HR, technical, behavioural. The technical part was a leetcode hard problem but they did not expect a hard solution. The behavioural was related to leadership principles similar to most companies.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Paris) in Oct 2025
Interview
I had a second experience with Klarna. After the ghosting of last year, Klarna reach out again for a SWE position. The same happened. After the first discussion, I have been told again to book a slot for the second round. And then... no news from anyone.
Second ghosting. Klarna has a terrible HR process and policy.
I feel like I dodge a bullet here. The work environment might be pretty toxic if it is aligned with the HR practices.
