Entrevista
The Interview Process has been itself a great learning experience, and I think it truly reflects the care and thoughtfulness of the Bending Spoons' people . The HR people always took the time to deeply explain the process to me as I was going forward in it. It was my first work interview ever and it goes without saying that I was pretty anxious about some of its parts, but I took my time (the whole thing took about 2.5 months I think) and everything went pretty smoothly. The process consisted in an initial math-logic quiz, 4 problem solving problems, a coding challenge and 4 other problem solving problems more focused on the apps market and such (stuff that I think you're at least supposed to have seen before if you're applying for this position). In the meantime there have been 2 remote interviews and 1 final interview in Milan.
Despite it certainly wasn't easy (the "employment bar" as they say it's pretty high), I think this process was handled with extreme care and dedication on the Bending Spoons' side, especially after reading and hearing from friends how other (even bigger) companies treat their candidates (i.e. by being disrespectful of their time and efforts).

Don't really know how much of the questions can be disclosed, but I can tell you that the book "cracking the coding interview" has been quite helpful to me, and gave me insights on how to solve some questions and problems I later faced in the process
Thank you, anonymous Spooner. Rumors have it our recruiters already ordered "Cracking the coding interview" for our internal library! ❤️

Entrevista
The interview consists of multiple tests (done online, graded by people), then multiple in-person (online) interviews (technical and cultural).
The first set of tests was concerning a broad spectrum of tasks and abilities(??), from reading comprehension, to rational reasoning and some statistical reasoning. Seven questions in total, half an hour time limit for each question.
The second set of tasks was leet-code-eque type of programming challenges. I've received two problems, an hour and a half for each.
Every individual question, in all the abovementioned tests, is timed, but there isn't a time limit to the test as a whole (meaning you could do one 30-minute question a day, for a week).
The next few interviews are supposed to be more in-depth technical assessments, as well as general motivation and cultural assessment. I haven't made it that far.

Pergunta 1
The first seven problems (on the online test) were general problems:
1. Reading comprehension: A text is given, and then they ask question about the contents.
2. English language assessment: A slightly more complicated text is given, and the answers offered aren't exactly obvious, and are there to gauge the level of your understanding
3. Logic puzzles, like: if you move a unit south, then east, then north, you end up where you started from, where are you?
4. Statistical reasoning questions: you have some metrics for different time scales, you need to compare them and understand their relationships to not give a wrong answer

The interview consisted of 7 tests, each lasting 30 minutes. The time only ticks when you start the test, so you can choose the time of the day/week when you feel the most comfortable to do as many as you want in a row.
Tests were of logical nature and I personally found them very interesting - each test had a storyline and a couple of questions from time to time as story progresses. On average, each test has around 6-7 questions.

Some standarized test nonsense, some logical problems, a coding challenge, and a interview.
Took too long to get back. Got left in the dark.
Feedback was vague and the tests felt too ridiculous. People are more than just a stupid standarized test. Maybe try getting to know them better. The whole thing felt pretentious.
