The interviewer was quite nice though. During the final interview step, there are 3 interviews happening on the same day, personally I like this setup. First manager HR interview (culture fit), then algorithm, then infrastructure.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna
Interview
Quite a long, but standard process it consisted of :
- A screening interview with the recruiter
- A code challenge to be done in the browser
- Two back-to-back interviews, one about Systems Design and one about behaviors
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Code challenges were basic, nothing out of the ordinary.
- The Systems Design interview was a bit different to what I experienced in other places, a bit messy but the interviewers were very friendly.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna in Mar 2021
Interview
Professional and easy-going. There were several interviews: initial contact with a recruiter, IQ test, one-to-one skill test, attitudes & values interview, another one-to-one skill screening, another attitudes & values interview, meeting the team. Also had several calls with the recruiter who gave useful pointers and tips.
