Incredibly long process, I went through countless hours of solving problems and countless hours of writing answers to case studies, I have been going from one stage to the other successfully, and finally I have reached the interview with one of the Founders. It seemed to have gone very well, I felt the chemistry, and at the very end of it he asked me some really difficult maths question. I had absolutely no idea how to do it on the spot and I candidly said I don't know the answer. I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal for a Recruiting Intern, but it turned out that this got me rejected all together. I find it absolutely ridiculous.

some ridiculously hard math questions that you are supposed to answer on the spot
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bending Spoons (Modena) in Mar 2021
Interview
Ho ricevuto una mail in cui mi si invitava a candidarmi; ho poi inviato il mio CV e una Cover Letter; infine ho sostenuto un test online. Il test consisteva di 7 problemi, di cui 5 di logica, uno riguardo alle mie esperienze passate, e un ultimo basato sulla compilazione di un foglio Google.

Question 1
Perché sei interessato a questa posizione lavorativa?
Di quali mansioni pensi ti occuperai?
Come sei venuto a conoscenza di Bending Spoons?
Che cosa hai apprezzato di più dell'azienda al momento della candidatura?
Very throough and very long. First you send a cv and letter and then you do about seven hours of tests. Then the next stage is five more hours of tests. Then an interview. After, that there is two other interviews to get through. I didn't make it past the first interview, but nevertheless was a very long process to get there. Test questions are very broad and require numerical skills (no matter what role you're applying for) and lateral reasoning skills. The interview was standard HR stuff.
I would say it was a long process - maybe too long - but also quite interesting and fair. It's clearly an interesting company.
Sono stata contattata da una recruiter che ha visionato il mio profilo su AlmaLaurea. Ho fatto domanda presso il sito e, dopo che il mio CV ha passato lo screening iniziale, mi è stata inoltrata una batteria di test psicoattitudinali per un totale di 6 ore. Nonostante il punteggio sufficiente, non ho passato questa fase di selezione, ma la recruiter che mi ha seguito si è dimostrata disponibile e professionale, riflettendo a mio parere i valori che l'azienda dice di avere a cuore.
