Pros: I joined Bending Spoons quiet some time ago and the most positive things are: - exciting and challenging - really transparent environment - everyone can make a difference, from the day 1 In general if you search for a journey outside your confort zone, with amazing people, this is the place. Despite the hard work, everyone is always willing to help you and sustain you.

Cons: I guess workload is probably higher that the average of Italian companies. That being said, it probably normal if you look at the objectives that Bending Spoons has. Work hours are probably in line with most of the other fast growing and ambitious startups

Pros: This is the greatest place to work. You have the possibility to: - Work with highly talented people that at the same time are very kind and try to support you whenever you need some help (both on the workplace and in private life) - Have full transparency and top of the market salaries, benefits - Participate to yearly retreats all around the world (TWO retreats in 2019) and monthly team bonding activities - Work on widespread products, you feel you can make a difference since your day one on something impacting millions of people around the world - The founders are the hardest workers in the company, they are not "bosses" but "leaders" - Values and culture of the company are incredible - Be part of a tribe, most of your colleagues soon become friends

Cons: There are no cons, actually. The only one is that you have lots and lots of work to do, but this is not properly a con, is something you WANT to do in this amazing workplace.

Pros: - Amazing pay and benefits. - Chance to work on a variety of good projects used by a large user base worldwide, therefore you can learn a lot. - Very good on CV.

Cons: The company knows how to promote itself very well, but this can mask some harsh realities. - The illusion of a "transparent" flat hierarchy masks a top-down culture. Leaders can make cuts even for high performers, even without knowing them, talking to them or consulting their actual team at all. - Sometimes, micromanagement. - High turnover rate, with someone joining or leaving every other week. - There's always the need to mask or justify your "mistakes" (even when they're not so), due to a hidden blaming culture. - The company doesn't seem to be suited for humble or shy people, since someone might take advantage of them or walk all over them. Assertiveness seems the key to navigate the company culture. - Management/leadership seems to be searching for very excited individuals: if you're not always like that, you might be misjudged. - In general, company leadership culture prioritizes money above anything else, and this negatively affects the employees, the products and the end users (having a healthy user base has never been a priority, as far as everything is legal and makes money).
