Structured, standard questions were asked. I felt some things were unsaid about the culture, maybe I'll apply to Klarna later. I liked the interview setup and discussions.

So I had this interview process. First, a pre-screen with a really nice recruiter. Then, a logical test which I passed. The next stage was a skills interview, and honestly, it was a terrible experience. The interviewer had a huge ego, kept cutting me off, and seemed to have already decided to reject me from the start. My answers with examples weren't well-received. When I asked follow-up questions, they seemed uninterested and some weren't even answered. This was supposedly one of many interview rounds. It's ironic they laid people off via a pre-recorded video and then expect candidates to jump through hoops. They should also train their employees on how to interview. Klarna tries to act like FAANG but lacks basic empathy in their interviews. The interviewer even claimed everyone at Klarna is humble, which is hilarious given their attitude.

If you start the interview process with Klarna, they will send you a message that you can not reply to saying that they will soon send you a link to a pattern/shape IQ test. A day later you will receive the link to take the test. You have 18 questions or so and 15 minutes to complete the test. I reviewed several of these types of tests before taking mine. I found the process to be impersonal. Since they do not contact you or give you a way to respond to a person. Just think if you were a disabled person and were given this type of test. That would be horrible. So to me any company that judges a person on a test, without an interview is not a company that I would want to work for. It shows, that they are not very human, genuine or authentic in their processes and most likely their management. Also, these tests prove nothing. It is better to judge someone on their skills, merit and accomplishments. Personally, having read the other reviews here on Glassdoor, I should have simply steered away from the test altogether. It simply makes no sense to even offer a test of this nature unless their only real goal is to collect data of some kind. In fact, I would be curious to what background operations were running during the test.
