"When I shifted my focus from advancing within my current company towards being awarded a position at a company that is far more aligned with my professional goals and desires, I made some major adjustments to my ten-year career plan. I kept working hard at hitting those milestones and adding more goals. Last month, I was still a few months out from the deadline I set for myself to get there. I started to revise my career plan again when I realized I had hit all my initial targets three months ahead of schedule. I even accomplished more than I'd initially set out to. This was a real moment for me. I realized that through several thinking outside-of-the-box moments, I'd overachieved my targets. I then sat there, triple-checking my work, scratching my head, trying to figure out how I'd done it. That's when I realized I had just kept squeezing the work in. I hadn't viewed it as work because I love what I do. It was quite a moment."

Klarna's has a well-defined culture, where many of its employees greet new hires with, "Welcome to the family." They refer to their innovating teammates as Klarnauts and have their own idioms, such as when their employees have moments. "What is a moment? It's more than just a second in time. It's an era of growth, change, and opportunity. At Klarna, we're in the middle of our moment. We're revolutionizing shopping, payments, and banking. And the world is taking note. But it doesn't come easy. We have to be brave enough to take risks. Bold enough to fail. And, unreasonable enough to accept nothing but the best. If that sounds like you, come find your moment in the middle of ours."
