      Marketing Interview

      3 Oct 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Barcelona
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Klarna (Barcelona) in Sept 2021

      Interview

      It was the most harmful experience on my job hunting track. For 3 month I went through 2 logical test, 3 interviews and in the last one I got a great email saying "Smoooth news for you! Our team is very interested in your profile, and we want to schedule the next 2 interviews with you now". Got really exited at this point, both interviews were schedule for the same week and the last one was for "meeting the team".  Because of that I spent the entire weekend preparing a presentation, learning a lot about Klarna, listening Podcasts about BNPL, etc. I was ready for that opportunity I was looking for. The first interview on that week was meant to be on Wednesday, and I got an email the day before saying that they were both appointments were cancelled. With no further explanation. I asked for some feedback, to understand if I did something wrong, or if the process was ended in that unexpected way, but nobody answered.  After a week and a couple of emails, I got a call saying that they have chose another candidate. I never got the chance to present my profile to the last person that would took the decision, spent an entire week feeling the injustice and failure of a very inhuman process.  To sum up, I believe that the best way "to improve the experience" is to treat candidates as peers and not as an ID code in a database.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Structured Smart people Standard questions I just have the feeling some things have been unsaid regarding the culture, might pursue Klarna later instead. I appreciated the interview setup and discussions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Klarna

      Interview

      The first round was fine--typical screener going over the role. Second round I think was ridiculous--an intelligence test. I took the test with a proctor, and found out I failed. No feedback, and no room to improve. Bizarre.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Klarna

      Interview

      Glad I got rejected: (1) Pre Screen - Amazing recruiter who was very kind (2) Logical test (Passed that) (3) Skills Interview - This. -The person who interviewed me was just plain bad. -The ego on this person's face was felt in my entire house. Cut me off in between answers, asked me questions to make it seem the interviewer has made their mind up to reject me from the 1st minute because whatever I said (backing up with examples) were not received well. -When asked follow up questions, the interviewer seem disinterested and some weren't even answered. Overall, a horrible experience. And guess what? This was maybe the 1st of their 765 rounds of interviews. Advice: Please don't let your candidates jump hoops for you when you lay them off IN A PRE-RECORDED video. Also a big advice: Train your employees to interview. Klarna behaves like a wannabe FAANG but lacks the empathy of interviewing. P.S.: The interviewer had said everyone at Klarna is humble. That's definitely laughable from the way they portrayed their personality. (No offence to other Klarnauts)
