I went through klarna’s interview process some time ago.

I had to go through both reasonable and weird steps, including IQ tests for some reason. I passed them all, and then I was ghosted, and upon reaching out I was met with months of excuses asking me to wait (the recruiter is on vacation, we’re waiting for the new budget to be approved, “I personally forgot to reply”, and a few others). I eventually stopped reaching out and never heard back.

If the whole company is as dysfunctional as those interactions implied, I wouldn’t really look up to them as trendsetters.
