The process was extremely rigorous: hours of maths and logical reasoning tests before meeting the team, followed by two problem-solving interviews and a same-day case study. While intense, it demonstrated a focus on raw capability over prior experience, the tests were interactive and I found them fun! I was also contacted directly by the CEO during the process, which signalled the importance they placed on hiring.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bending Spoons (Milan) in Apr 2026
Interview
Candidatura online, dopo un primo screening del cv si è sottoposti a task di logica abbastanza generici e non allineati alla job description.
Una perdita di tempo e non si ha la possibilità di contattare un responsabile delle risorse umane né altri membri dell'azienda.
In compenso la valutazione della candidatura è molto veloce.
The interview process started with an online assessment followed by a video interview. The interviewers asked both behavioral and role-related questions to understand my product thinking and problem-solving approach. The atmosphere was professional and friendly, and I spoke with two interviewers who were interested in learning about my experience and how I approach product decisions.
