Pros

The people I worked with were generally nice!

Cons

Bending Spoons is clearly trying to replicate a Silicon Valley culture, including a lot of its flaws (which especially isn't great for minorities). The company also seems pretty disorganized at times and there seems to be a sentiment that things are getting worse, I wouldn't really recommend working here

Pros

Compensation is above average and the benefits are good. The company maintains high-quality standards and works with talented, ambitious people. It’s a structured and performance-driven environment.

Cons

Work-life balance is poor and the pressure is constant. Over time, the environment can feel demotivating. Feedback is frequent but often influenced by individual lead preferences, which can create the perception that cultural alignment weighs as much as, or more than, objective results. The type of work can also vary significantly, you might find yourself working on something genuinely interesting and high-impact, or on initiatives that feel repetitive and absolutely NOT motivating. There is also a strong push to center your professional and social life around the company, spending as much time as possible with colleagues and investing most of your energy internally. This makes the overall experience very intense and not sustainable for everyone.
