Pros: It is an unmatched place when it comes to impacting global-scale products from essentially day one, and the benefits follow. I was able to work on backend systems supporting the entire BSP portfolio, and then on two products used by millions of people every month. And I mean really working on them - having ownership, owning the failures, doing the hard work.

Cons: The pace here is very intense, there's essentially no downtime. You constantly feel like you're underperforming and falling behind, and have to actively work this feeling because most people here get way above average/outstanding/unfathomable work done. But it can get very taxing on your mental health - though there's no explicit requirement to do so, a lot of people here work through sick leaves and holidays, etc. Still, if you're up for that I think this is one of the few places that will actually reward you accordingly for the hard work.

Pros: People at Bending Spoons are amazing: they're nice, welcoming, smart, talented, and hardworking. Bending Spoons has a particularly ambitious vision: becoming one of the greatest tech companies in the world. I truly believe we have a shot at making it. There are always new big challenges we need to face and overcome; it's not boring for sure :) One thing I appreciate a lot is the transparency in almost every aspect of life at Bending Spoons: from day one you are given access to all the info, decisions, and policies of the company, and you're encouraged to challenge them, make proposals on how to improve them, or simply ask for more details about them. When it comes to taking decisions, many times everyone is asked their opinion on the matter. Another nice thing is the ability to work remotely, when need be.

Cons: Most people here work more than the default 40 hours per week, although we're not required to. Maybe it's just that we care about what we're trying to achieve together, and we want it as fast as we can.

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.
