I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Klarna (London, England)
Interview
Judging a book by its cover. Klarna sent me a logical thinking test as the first interview step. It didn't and couldn't portray any cultural fit to the brand and relation to my past experience. very bad experience and interaction with her interviewee
They are all very nice people. During the communication process, you should fully demonstrate your control over the customer and understand the stakeholders. You should be a consultant, not a salesperson.
The first stage was a telephone screening call with a recruiter, followed by a commercial pitch task, an interview with the team lead. A team fit interview with a peer and finally a logic test.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Klarna (Sydney) in Apr 2021
Interview
This was the worst interview process I have ever experienced. 4 interviews, a test, and a presentation in, the interviewer talked about the next person I would meet in the 5th round during the interviewt, so I was very sure I'd be progressing. Then they went complete cold for over a week. When I finally got some contact from them I was told I didn't get the job, the only explaination given was they didn't think I could work in a fast-pased environment, despite the fact all of my previous experience was in large-scale FMCG buinesses delivering growth. It seemed like they were treading carefully in what they were saying and I have suspiscions it had something to do with my enquiry regarding flexibility to support family life.
