Round 1 was 1 online assessment, then in round 2 there were 4 online assessments and 1 behavioural questionnaire which is supposed to take 4-5 hours to complete. The OA questions are not the traditional Leetcode styled ones with multiple choice and textboxes. You need to write and run code in your own editor/ terminal/ IDE to answer.
Recruiter was not helpful and always answers with their AI email assistant. The interview took too long and is fully one-sided, it's not helpful to demonstrate your abilities and thought process even with the 5 hour runtime.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Bending Spoons in May 2026
Interview
The first round consisted of coding, maths and personality assessments. The difficult was acceptable and the hiring manager was helpful during this process. They give you two weeks to complete all assessments, and the option to extend the deadline for an additional two weeks

Interview
Very interactive and provides support every step of the way. You're able to ask for extended deadlines, and they have support for those who have disabilities or are neurodivergent. They look at your cv and have to first past initial screening process, i.e. valid experience. Having a GitHub portfolio with projects are ideal.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bending Spoons in Feb 2026
Interview
First I did First Ascent in 2024, for which I had to do some assignments (~3 hours in total) and 1 behavioral interview.
After that my process was fast-tracked and had 2 interviews - one with behavioral questions and easy riddles, another one with system design. The system design interview was by far the hardest.
Also they required 3 referrals and were talking to each of them.
