I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
The process is very straightforward. You get an email from HR where they explain the full process.
I completed these two phases. It took a total of 3 hours for the first 6 problem sets, 3 hours for two technical questions (1.5 hours each), 1 hour for behavioral questions, 30 minutes for an additional analytical question set, and 30 minutes for a standardized test by Alva Labs. You cannot spend more time on solving these problems, as when you enter the problem, a clock starts, and you cannot pause that clock.
To be honest, I enjoyed solving both analytical and technical problems. But they informed me that other candidates did better than me in solving technical problems. It would be nice for me if I could know what I could have done better in the technical problems. But I understand they can't disclose more than this. Otherwise, it would be giving away solutions to their problems. So I don't have any complaint. As I understand, there might be better candidates than me who solved and explained their reasoning better than me.
The following metrics were computed from 233 interview experiences for the Bending Spoons Software Engineer role.
Bending Spoons's interview process for their Software Engineer roles is fairly selective, failing a large portion of engineers who go through it.
Candidates reported having very good feelings for Bending Spoons's Software Engineer interview process.
