      Software Engineer Interview

      15 Nov 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (New York, NY)

      Interview

      1. Pattern based logical multi choice test Its a simple multi choice test based on patterns. There are 18 questions and 15 min. Unsure why its taken. 2. Coding test Three simple coding problems with no time limit. 3. Another coding test with an engineer. This one is of average difficulty. The interviewer also asks about your current work experience. 4. System design problem This was a bit weird. First, the interviewer(who, for the test, pretends to be a product owner) asks to build a throw away prototype of the given problem statement and later asks to build a production level service for the same problem. This causes a bit of a confusion as there might be a difference in opinion between the interviewer and you on what components are considered in prototyping phase and what are for the production service. For eg, the interviewer might ask you to skip testing or authentication components in prototyping phase but you might thinks its a must-have even in prototyping phase. This grey area between prototype and production service design was confusing for me. 5. Two bar raisers The hiring manager was responsive and helpful too.

      I interviewed at Klarna (Berlin)

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Paris) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      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.
