I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bending Spoons in Oct 2021
Interview
After applying initially, I was asked to take a GRE like test that had (I think) 7 sections lasting 30 minutes each. After that, I was asked to take 2 more tests which tested programming skills and one test which asked questions about myself and why I'm interested to work at the firm. There was also a psychometric test.
I had an interview with the recruiter after that where she mostly asked me questions about myself and my experiences, but I didn't make it past that round.
Overall, it was a good experience, and the recruiter was friendly and responsive and things happened fairly quickly. The firm even gave feedback on why I was rejected, which I appreciated.

Ho provato a fare l' oa, ho iniziato con la parte di logica e l'ho passata, poi c'è la parte di coding dove la difficoltà è incrementale, trova una soluzione, scrivi testi, scrivilo in un altro modo e cosi via
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bending Spoons (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
The application process is long compared to other firms (7-8 hours of commitment, spread across 1.5-2 months), but it is quite unique as well, so you might find it interesting.
You first have to do an OA, which consists of behavioural questions, as well as some pen-and-paper tasks (e.g., algorithms on graphs, logical reasoning), and a task that you couldn't solve by hand, thus requiring you to write a small program.
After the OA stage, there are 2 behavioural interviews, which consist of your standard behavioural questions as well as "brain teaser" type questions (not really the "If you were shrunk and put in a blender, how would you escape" kind, they were more about logical reasoning and less open-ended). I highly recommend preparing for how to answer those, since I believe that is the reason I failed.

Interview
I got contacted by the hr rep, and then I was sent the online assessment which took approximately 5 hrs to complete. Was rejected but the hr rep gave me a pretty detailed feedback on what went wrong in my performance, highlighting even the individual questions that I had gotten wrong, and also where I performed good.

Question 1
I signed an NDA but pretty basic coding with logic and probability questions. It was one of the most fun assessments that I had done.
