Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks.

Screening CV and motivation letter.
Online logic test: 7 tests of half an hour to test skills, and 4 tests of 1.5 to 2 hours to test industry competencies.
2 to 3 interviews, and then perhaps they hire you.

In general, the process is too long, especially if you do not even access the first introductory interview. It involves doing at least 11 hours of actual difficult tests, with the risk that you do not even have the pleasure of personally meeting anyone.

Most likely the best workplace in the world

Software Engineer • Current Employee

February 19, 2023

Pros: It’s a workplace which perfectly matches the word “flexible” - you have the freedom of working from anywhere in the world without your salary being impacted. You can also conduct your asynchronous work at any time you want. You have the opportunity to contribute and bring value to areas even outside of coding. The variety of tasks which I was able to take on made everything all the more exciting, fulfilling, and genuinely fun.

Cons: Everything is fast-paced, so you may feel overwhelmed as a newcomer. It all goes away though because people are very supportive and understanding.

The all-in-one workplace for people who want to excel

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: - Lots of fun, knowledgable and driven colleagues - End to end responsibilities on apps with huge user base that allow you to keep growing as an engineer - Great compensation, not only financially but also including very fun retreats

Cons: - Working at Bending is not made for people who prefer to relax and are fine with the status quo. For those who embrace the Bending culture of moving fast, I don't see considerable disadvantages.
