I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bending Spoons (Milan) in Nov 2024
Interview
The process was very long. I did a screening, then a set of long online tests (4-5h), which were very difficult. After that, I did a behavioral interview of 1h with the Hiring Manager, with general, non-tricky questions about my background and my working style. I then did a 1h and 30m technical interview, and a 1h problem solving interview, although this was not standard as they were supposed to be switched. The technical interview was actually half behavioral and half technical, with situational questions. The problem solving interview was fair but tricky. They also asked me to provide 3 references, although they only reached out to one of them because they already took a decision. After the outcome, they offered me the possibility to do a short call to give me feedback, what went well and what did not, which was a nice touch
D: consider a totem in the airport where you can submit your opinion on the security checks service on a rate from 1 to 3, what do you think of this data collection process? What could go wrong?
Firstly two rounds of online tests, including logical and statistical questions. Then first round interview is also logical question, but requires careful thinking. You need to think out loud and also correctly, don’t rush for the pace.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A logical question about flipping cards. How many times do you need to ensure a certain result.
Six rounds of different numerical problems, took a really long period of time to actually finish them, led to nothing. It's a demonstration of how careful they pick candidates, but also very time-consuming so you need to be considerate.
Ho fatto application e ricevuto i test. Il test era uno. Ho svolto un test di logica e domande di probabilità. Non c’erano domande particolarmente tecniche ma il focus era sul ragionamento veloce.
