Process
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks.
It is a long but rewarding interview process. Some people find it fun, and some people hate it. You should be prepared to invest time. The first steps are async, comprising discrete maths tests and questionnaires. The second part is made of live interviews, 2 or 3, where you are asked logic puzzles and riddles. The last live interview is a system design exercise for SWE positions. The ending step is a reference check.

Bending Spoons Work Experiences
- 5.0More than fairSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 13, 2024Pros: More than a fair salary, positive mindset, ready to invest in their engineers and also the communityCons: Will let you know when I find out.
- 5.0Most likely the best workplace in the worldSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 19, 2023Pros: 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.
- 5.0Programming at Bending SpoonsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 28, 2025Pros: You get a lot of autonomy and are involved in the decision-making process. You get access to all the learning resources you may require. The culture is great, people are always there to help. Benefits are amazing all around: insurances, retreats, welfare, and events.Cons: Not necessary a con, but people do expect greatness for you which will add some pressure to your day to day working experience. There are a lot of internal tools and protocols to learn (but they give you ~1 month at the beginning to get accustomed)
