I recently went through Bending Spoons’ hiring process and found it unnecessarily complicated, frustrating, and ultimately not worth the time. - Irrelevant assessments: The process included abstract logic tests and outdated brain teasers that had little to do with the actual role. It felt more like a mental obstacle course than a job interview. - Vague problem-solving stage: During the live problem-solving interview, the questions were hard to hear and poorly explained. A simple PDF with the questions would’ve made a huge difference. - Lack of transparency: Despite investing hours into the process, I received generic feedback with no insight into what went wrong or how to improve. - Misaligned expectations: The entire process felt disconnected from the role I applied for. It seemed designed to filter out candidates rather than evaluate relevant skills. Overall, the experience was draining and disappointing. If you're considering applying, be prepared for a process that values complexity over clarity, and don’t expect meaningful feedback at the end.
