Process

I applied online. The process took five weeks.

There were online assessments with scenarios on logic and probabilities. I can't go into detail as there is an NDA, but you are given certain statements and must do logical inference. I passed the first round that had six assessments, then failed on the second.

A workplace that truly invested in its employees

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: - Some of the greatest minds I could ever dream of working with - A chance to work on top-tier software products and challenges in a B2C environment - True and uncompromising attention to the wellness and satisfaction of the employees - Great salary and benefits, with a real and meritocratic growth possibility - Amazing work culture - A stunning office in Milan, Italy

Cons: - The only con I can thing of is that, in the (very unlikely) event that I was to move to another job, I'm afraid that the standard that Bending Spoons has set for what a company should be would be too high to make anything else satisfactory.
