This question focuses on your experience, skill level, and emotional intelligence. How you answer will inform them whether you take ownership of your mistakes, setbacks, and failures. Someone who identifies the lessons to be learned from such situations has a greater aptitude for success. Whereas someone who hides their mistakes, tries to cover their tracks, and is afraid of those mistakes being discovered is more likely to repeat them. Trust and collaboration are integral to Klarna's culture. "Trust & Collaboration. Successes and failures are won together at Klarna in a melting pot of teams.

"I was taking some meeting notes from my team, and we were all actively brainstorming. We had a lot of projects we were all managing, and this meeting focused on what was on the horizon. I was jotting stuff down, and things in the meeting were moving pretty fast. Then, when the meeting was done, I set the notes aside and came back to them a few days later, typing them all up. But, since the meeting was moving so fast, and it was a few days earlier, I got the bullet points mixed up and a bit backward. One teammate corrected me on a few points, and I revised the notes and distributed them again. Then, another teammate corrected me on some of their points. At that point, I checked in with each member and asked them for clarification before I published it again. Not a mistake I'd make again. Live and learn."
