I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Madrid) in Sep 2022
Interview
eran 4 etapas, HR, caso de uso, validacion caso de uso y una ultima con un manager. En mi opinion un caso de uso para realizar en 1 semana es demasiado trabajo para una entrevista, y más aun mientras estás trabajando. Deberian mejorar el proceso de seleccion.

Interview
The overall interview process was well described in the first round. They had two logical tests, one HR round, a case study, one technical round and then a cultural fit round.
The sad part was, the recruiter went AWOL after I submitted the case study and 2 weeks later just sent a template rejection email.
