I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Klarna (Berlin) in Sept 2021
Interview
Avoid this company if you have even a tiny respect for yourself.
Applied on the website. Got the link for Kattis IQ test, required solving 18 pattern question in less than 15 minutes. Got rejection mail afterwards.
I received a rejection email stating my CV and logic test (Kattis Test) performance wasn't upto the mark. I'm not sure what this company looking in a java developer as I have enough experience of developing solutions at scale as part of some of world's biggest technical organizations.
As far as I understand, judging my software developer skills based on some test for which some institutions run 'coaching packages' was completely unjustified. Had it been a coding challenge, it would have done some justice to the position you are hiring for.
I've interviewed with all kinds of businesses ranging from small scale startups and biggest MNCs of the world but I have never been treated more unfairly than this.
I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, 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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Klarna (Milan) 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).
