Senior Android Developer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through another source. The process took four weeks.

Firstly, they asked me to solve seven online tests. For each test, they gave me 30 minutes. Skills required were problem-solving and English understanding. They informed me that I passed the tests, and they gave me two new tests. For each test, they gave me 90 minutes. Skills required were bitwise operations and writing algorithms with an acceptable complexity. My computer science studies helped me a lot here.

Then I had:

One behavioural interview with a recruiter.
One tech interview with a developer.
One interview with another recruiter.
One problem-solving interview with a developer.

In my experience, Bending Spoons has the nicest interviewers. I always felt treated properly, with respect. Communication was smooth. They appreciate that you took the time to go along all the process. It should be the normality, but it's not.

Bending Spoons Work Experiences

A truly amazing workplace

Pros: Probably my favourite thing about working in Bending Spoons is how interesting the actual work that you are doing is. Even as a very junior engineer, you are given the opportunity to work on many exciting projects, which in my case has helped me grow a lot and understand deeply what it takes to successfully build apps - a thing that I've always been passionate about. Furthermore, there is a strong culture of idea meritocracy, so your opinions are always heard and actions to improve the status quo are actually taken in a swift manner when they are identified. Another thing that I really appreciate is the environment full of cool, skilled and open-minded people. In fact, the open-mindedness is something that always reflects in any operations of the company, such as how it defines its business strategies or how it chooses to benefit its employees.

Cons: When I first joined, being surrounded by so many skilled people started a sort of impostor syndrome in me, but I got over it as I received a lot of support from my teammates and as I grew inside the company.

Pros: People inspire you. Everyone is amazing, and the founders are LEADERS, not "bosses". They are the most hard working among everyone, and you can't help but feel inspired by their vision and view of the world.

Cons: It does get a bit overwhelming. Working side by side with such amazing people is great, but it does put a pressure on you. You do feel like you make the difference in the products, but you also have a lot of responsibility which kinda puts you under pressure at times, but that's just fair.
