QA Tester Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took one week.

I applied through their website once, with an immediate decline. Then I tried to apply again in three to four months. I was sent a happy and encouraging email with a link to the test and instructions. There were seven tests: one for logic in the field of marketing or sales or whatever, five psychological crappy tests with dumb questions like "who you want to be in five years," ratings from one to five on your personal lifestyle, and other old-fashioned psychocrap. Only one of the seven tasks was actually a technical task according to the position I'd applied for. Two days after sending them the tasks, I was contacted via email again. They wrote that they had a lot of other candidates and that they were much better than me. But when I asked for detailed feedback, they never wrote again.

Bending Spoons Work Experiences

It's like being in the Silicon Valley but with Italian food

QA Tester • Current Employee

October 4, 2019

Pros: Work-from-home, flexible hours, friendly environment, trust toward the employee, transparency and equality, delicious free food, awesome relax areas, tons of team building activities, retreats, welfare program, healthcare insurance... They aim for the stars and you absolutely want to be aboard that rocket!

Cons: The office is located in the most modern part of the city, which is a top-rated location for branding, but it's difficult to reach if you don't live in the center of Milan (which is crazy expensive).

Best tech company in Italy

Software Engineer Lead • Current Employee

Pros: - Excellent compensation, option of receiving part of the salary in stocks - Meritocratic, I've received several raises simply for performing well in my role, without the need to ask or apply for them - Flexibility, you can decide day by day where to work from. I personally spend the whole summer working from the countryside - Stunning new office in the center of Milan. The office is full of food and amenities and hosts several events. It's like a second home. - Exotic company retreats once a year. This year in Vietnam with WeRoad, next year Seychelles! - Inspiring Colleagues! Spooners are talented and motivated. You never stop learning, both professionally and personally - Small teams that manage highly impactful products. Opportunity to change project and role frequently

Cons: - Spooners are extremely passionate about their work. If you don’t share the same level of passion/motivation, it might be challenging to keep up with the pace - Due to the dynamic nature of our product portfolio, company-wide reorganizations and role changes are common. If you're not flexible and adaptable, this might not be the right fit for you.

Great place to work

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Probably one of the best companies to work for with a great culture. A short and not comprehensive list of pros: - Flexibility: the company affords you complete flexibility in how you organise your time, your work and everything you do. There are no fixed hours and you can work from anywhere as long as you are dedicated - Great environment: You will be surrounded by driven people that are really good at what they do. - Great perks: Working for BSP involves a great number of perks such as paid vacations, a very nice office with a ton of food and many more

Cons: I wouldn't recommend the company for people that just want to "coast", you need to be dedicated and like what you do. Hours can also be long so you need to be passionate about what you do.
