Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'altra fonte. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Klarna (Berlino) nel mese di set 2018
Colloquio
Klarna directly reached me from my personal email about this position. They found me on Linkedin. The position was in Berlin.
Interview steps were
1) Google Hangout with HR - Introduction about Klarna and position. Also HR wanted to know a bit more about myself, like where I live, if I'm open to new opportunities and what would be the motive for me to consider this one. Also I've been informed about the whole interview process, stages etc
2) Online test for logical reasoning and code challenge
- Logical reasoning test was a quiz with 18 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. The questions are about sequence of shapes and you select which shape will be coming next.
- Code challenge to be done on qualified.io. There were 3 questions where you implement the methods based on requirements. There were no time limit on qualified.io, but HR told me to try to complete it within 30 minutes.
3) Google Hangout for Technical Review - 1 hour call. Questions about Java and your technical background. Also I've shared my screen and answered an another algorithm code challenge during this session.
4) Google Hangout for Character Stage - 30 minutes interview with VP of Engineering. There were questions about both behavioral and technical.
5) Onsite interview - I wasn't invited to this one.
After stage 4, I was rejected. HR informed me that I was a very strong fit but they decided not to continue with me for the final step because I was a candidate who requires relocation to Berlin.
From the very first day of this interview process, Klarna knew that I was a candidate that requires relocation. But they decided use this info as a reject reason after stage 4.
If that was a deal breaker, they could have stop the process before it started. But they decided to go with the interview process and waste my time and my effort.

Colloquio
I was contacted by a recruiter, Nick. The process was excellent and super smooth overall. Nick helped me with the whole process understanding and what to anticipate for the process which was a good heads up to have...
The interview rounds were also quite organized. They do care about unit tests a lot which was prominent from the first coding round itself and that itself says a lot about the kind of work and what the company cares about which includes good coding practices.
Overall I had one initial coding round of 2.5 hours which had 2 problem statement with tests also to be written. Then you have B1 and B2 rounds both include technical and one non technical rounds as well... I also got an opportunity to talk with the team and get more clarification on other questions. B2 was a little long with lesser breaks than B1. But i would suggest you can ask for a short 5 minutes' break from your interviewer if you need it anyways, they were quite helpful there...
They also scheduled a couple of other calls also for me to understand the immigration and visa process and what all to anticipate there in terms of process which was super helpful.
Overall positive experience for the whole interview process. Sadly couldn't go forward with the offer since I got another one from some other company which seemed a better fit for what I'm currently looking for. But klarna definitely came so so so close!
An interview process does speak a lot about the company and you folks really rocked it!

questions around klarna principles around leadership, customer obsession etc..
It was Lengthy and long process and it took minimum of 6 hours for the whole interview and coding challenge of 3 hours. The Interviewer is good and well behaved with the candidates. But only the lengthy process of 4 weeks to complete
I was interviewed by a recruiter, I was rejected on the call itself, I had no experience with Javascript testing. All the other requirements were fulfilled. I felt it was very harsh and embarrassing to get rejected on the interview itself just because one aspect was missing. It was for the first time I experienced such a thing.
