I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Klarna (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2021
Interview
Was reached out to by an external/3P recruiter who told me about the company (new to Canada) and got me excited about Klarna. After a follow-up call with the recruiter where we established there would be a fit, I was asked to do an abstract reasoning test, where you're asked to finish the puzzle sequence for 18 questions, on a timed call with a recruiter from Klarna watching over a virtual meeting. I scored over 80% on the test but was told I didn't get a high enough score, so can't move forward to the next stage. As others have commented here, this process clearly has a high bar and weighting for this test, but doesn't take into account a candidate's strengths or allows them to showcase their skillset. I have to rate this experience as 'negative' because of this because I don't think it allowed me to really demonstrate my abilities to the team.
Das Vorstellungsgespräch beginnt mit einer Selbstvorstellung, gefolgt von Fragen zu Erfahrungen, Fähigkeiten und Motivation. Anschließend werden Fachfragen gestellt und der Bewerber präsentiert eine Fallstudie. Am Ende erfolgt Raum für Rückfragen.
The whole interview process was clear and structured. Every step felt more like a two-way conversation which made you feel very comfortable, very rare for companies that size. Overall, the process took one month and was very enjoyable.
