Bending Spoons Graduate Software Developer interview questions

1. Online Assessments (3 rounds, ~6 hours total) • Mix of maths and statistics problems • Some pseudocode questions, including bitwise operations • No DSA or algorithm prep required • Fair but time-consuming 2. Application Materials • Required to submit written application questions, a cover letter, and a 3-minute presentation recording • Felt a bit over the top for an early-stage process • After completing this stage, they give you $30 to donate to a charity of your choice as a thank-you 3. First Interview (HR-focused, 1 hour) • Mostly behavioural and motivational questions: • Why Bending Spoons • Why impact matters to you • Long-term goals • “At 80, what would make your career successful?” • Weaknesses • Ends with a short 5-minute maths/stats brainteaser 4. Final Interview (HR + Problem Solving) • Half behavioural, half analytical • One more maths brainteaser • One basic data-science-style A/B testing case Outcome: I didn’t progress past the final interview, mainly because other candidates performed better on the problem-solving tasks. The process was competitive and well structured, with a strong emphasis on clarity of reasoning rather than coding. They do give you a product voucher for Remini to thank you for your time at the end.

The staff are very nice and respond quickly whenever I email them with questions. They also provided me with an Online Assessment to complete, which was easy to use and focused on business questions.
