Process
I applied online.
After passing the long OA of three hours plus, I received an interview of one hour plus. There was an emphasis on the resume and motivation questions about why Bending Spoons, followed by a system design question. It was a very long interview, and I feel like they cared a lot about motivation and passion for technology.

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.

High pace that's actually worth it

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.
