Your interviewer is curious about how familiar you are with their work environment and culture and how your ideal work environment and goals align with what they have to offer. Part of what makes Klarna such a competitively desirable place to work is its culture and unconventional work culture. From positioning their employees where they are happiest and most talented to not having a typical corporate hierarchy to having a flexible work schedule, it is a truly unique workplace.

"I want to work for a meritocracy that goes the full distance. I'd love to work in a work environment where collaboration takes new forms and strengths are not only rewarded but celebrated. If you are doing the work you love, you will over-perform. How Klarna gives you more of the work you love to do is the kind of meritocracy I would not only be able to outperform consistently but would love doing so while beating my every performance record, time and time again."

Here's a collection of statements from Klarna's website describing their work culture and company structure: "We appreciate that everyone's different and has their own preferences of where and how to work. At Klarna, you can choose between working from the office, remotely within your employment country, or even outside of it for up to 20 working days per year. We genuinely believe in the power of regular face-to-face interactions in building close connections with our teams, but we also strongly believe people can work effectively remotely. We turned the traditional corporate hierarchy upside down, splitting up into hundreds of small, autonomous teams. We maximize innovation and move at lightning speed. It's exciting, inviting, and never boring. If you love what you do, you should love where you do it."
