Process

I applied online. The process took 2 months.

The interview process has been itself a great learning experience, and I think it truly reflects the care and thoughtfulness of the Bending Spoons people. The HR people always took the time to deeply explain the process to me as I was going forward in it. It was my first work interview ever, and it goes without saying that I was pretty anxious about some of its parts. I took my time (the whole thing took about 2.5 months, I think), and everything went pretty smoothly.

The process consisted of:

  • An initial math-logic quiz.
  • Four problem-solving problems.
  • A coding challenge.
  • Four other problem-solving problems more focused on the apps market and such (stuff that I think you're at least supposed to have seen before if you're applying for this position).

In the meantime, there have been two remote interviews and one final interview in Milan. Despite it certainly wasn't easy (the "employment bar," as they say, is pretty high), I think this process was handled with extreme care and dedication on the Bending Spoons side, especially after reading and hearing from friends how other (even bigger) companies treat their candidates (i.e., by being disrespectful of their time and efforts).

Questions

I don't really know how much of the questions can be disclosed, but I can tell you that the book "Cracking the Coding Interview" has been quite helpful to me, and it gave me insights on how to solve some questions and problems that I later faced in the process.
