Pros

Bending Spoons pays quite well and offers great benefits especially to certain employees. If you are hired as a Spooner then you will be given many opportunities. The office is in a nice location and easy to get to. A fully stocked kitchen with food and drink available. I met a few lovely people while working for the company.

Cons

Unfortunately Bending Spoons doesn't believe that all of their employees throughout the company should be treated in the same way and this is where the benefits given and the treatment of employees differs dramatically. “Staff” members are treated as lesser beings within the company that shouldn't expect to be treated in exactly the same way as "Spooners". The office management shows absolutely no trust in staff members and micromanages to the point of suffocation. The People Operations team, which is composed of a few very nice people and then other members that should never be in a position of power within a company. Bending Spoons wants to be seen as a high flying, hip and trendy company that is politically correct in every way but when it comes down to it the behavious and attitudes I witnessed showed me that it has very much a village mentality.

Pros

Great company culture, ambitious, young, good company leadership (the founders, not necessarily the team leads).

Cons

Depending on the team your experience may very wildly. Some leads are clearly not fit for the role and prompted many of their employees to leave (either the team or the company as a whole) Compensation tiers and the way they are assigned is not always the most transparent

Pros

Working at Bending Spoons is challenging, rewarding, stimulating. I couldn't hope to find a place that challenges me as much and feels as much rewarding.

Cons

You risk getting too much into your work and the people from work to leave on the side other aspects of your life.
