Worst recruiter experience ever!
Process started early 2022
Recruiter(UK based) connected with me over a screening call. Gave a salary estimate based on my yoe. But kept on saying you might get better salary based on interviews.
Block 1 - 2 interview
Sync call with HR - came back with same salary estimate and pretended that they came with this number after interview feedback. And again, said these numbers can go up
Block 2 - 2 interviews
Offer - offered the lower end of the range.
Reasoning- you will need to learn technologies like AWS.
Common! AWS is a tool, not a skill.
Upon negotiation : very rudely said take it or leave it!
And I left it!
My advice : Be transparent and respectful.

Domanda 1
Gave a sample project, asked to add some functionalities and tests
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.

Colloquio
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.
