Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Klarna.
Entrevista
The hiring process is a complete mess lacking any transparency and respect for people's time. Their website says 6 to 8 weeks, but I gave up somewhere after the 10th and took another offer. I passed seven of god knows how many stages, but after each stage you get no feedback for 10 days or more, so at no point you have any idea where you stand. I have politely asked a few times for an approximate timeline, but of course, no response. The interviews are normal, I liked the people I met, but oh god, the recruitment process makes me think they really don't care whether they hire people or not, it's some kind of research or experiment. 10 weeks and seven stages to get what's pretty much a standard or below standard salary, and a normal contract with a probation period, mind you. It was so drawn out and weird that at some point my wife started joking I'm interviewing for the CIA. Anyway, a note to the recruiters: this is disrespectful and unprofessional as hell. The company has a rep as a good employer, which is perhaps why people play along, but that's up to a point.

The software-related questions were normal, but I was asked to explain how I implemented Klarna's leadership principles. How about you implement them in recruitment though?
it consisted of 3 parts, HR, technical, behavioural. The technical part was a leetcode hard problem but they did not expect a hard solution. The behavioural was related to leadership principles similar to most companies.

I had a second experience with Klarna. After the ghosting of last year, Klarna reach out again for a SWE position. The same happened. After the first discussion, I have been told again to book a slot for the second round. And then... no news from anyone.
Second ghosting. Klarna has a terrible HR process and policy.
I feel like I dodge a bullet here. The work environment might be pretty toxic if it is aligned with the HR practices.
