Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Klarna (Estocolmo, ) em mai. de 2020
Entrevista
First, to start on a positive note: the vast majority of interviewers/Klarnauts were great, showed genuine empathy and would have been great colleagues.
Impressed by their career site and clear interview process, reality chattered that image:
- Lengthy: 4 month process, 2 tests or 8 interviews, I've received an email for closure, not a phone call
- Interview feedback: up to 3 weeks to get them despite chasing
- Salary: be open upfront or HR will lowball you before the final interview. (below industry standard)
- Paternity leave: on the final interview, the interviewer kept asking about my future, personal & family situation, I wasn't shy telling her that my partner and I we're thinking of starting a family. I clearly sensed the interview turned cold afterwards. A bit naive I admit. DO NOT mention any family plans during the interview, as Swedish law offer generous parental leave for both men and women and company might therefore turn you down. (myself a man I never considered it before)

The process was a total disaster! It was supposed to be composed of 4 steps: 1) HR screening, 2) online assessment, 3) business case interview (on client management), 4) Behavioral Interview.
I got stuck between step 1 and 2 as a consequence of complete ghosting from the HR operator. Here, my experience summarized:
1) HR first round call was re-scheduled/postponed 3/4 times from the company side as the HR was not replying to the emails in time/not replying at all.
2) Once scheduled, the call with HR went really bad as well. The HR had major wi-fi issues, which prevented me from either presenting my background and skills, or having my questions on the role answered.
3) After the call, the HR sent me an email where: a) she apologized and admitted the connection issue was hers; b) asked me to send her any unanswered questions via email; c) sent me the link to complete the online assessment (abstract/logical reasoning).
4) I have completed the assessment and replied to her email with my questions. I have never received a feedback, she completely disappeared. I have no idea how my assessment went.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

Bar raiser interviews very connected to klarna leadership principles.
Case interviews vary from role to role, but involve taking home som pseudo realistic team specific task and presenting a path forward. In general some type of action plan involving insights, development plan, go to market and engineering trade-offs with some focus on how to solve the problem.

Very long interview process, more than 3 months from start to finish. Got to the last step but then they closed the position. Otherwise the process was good, involved a product management case, and 3 other interviews with team/managers.
