I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Klarna (Berlijn) in Feb 2019
Interview
First recruiter phone screen, then I was sent two online tests, one was logic (old school irrelevant IQ test even same pattern) and 2nd was 3 questions coding test.
I was replied that I didn't pass.
Because I solved all the coding questions and I was sure of my answers, I even wrote many test cases; I asked for a feedback with scores
The reply was complete nonsense, the comments came I scored 11 of 18 of the IQ and that **my code formatting wasn't good** ! I felt sorry for the recruiter having to carry back such useless feedback.
Assume I wrote the code for the whole question in one line, how about the fact that it was an online exam on a dummy web editor that barely compiles the code, and you say code formatting wasn't good enough ?
If you don't want to hire people just don't run around and recruit and waste our time, instead of giving back unprofessional useless feed backs.
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, ) in Mar 2026
Interview
The process involves several stages. The first is an online logic test to evaluate your pattern recognition skills. Subsequently, HR will invite you to a remote online meeting so they can get to know you better. They do not hire for a specific team/role and will instead see if you match with any of their teams.

A few steps with HR. Then 3 different technical steps:

I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Milaan) in Oct 2024
Interview
Il contatto delle risorse umane mi ha spiegato tutto del processo in anticipo, affinché mi fosse chiaro. Dopo averci conosciuti ho partecipato a tre colloqui tecnici da remoto, su: il disegno dei sistemi (system design), la programmazione (live programming) e il comportamento (STAR behavioural interview).
