Pros

- Outlier in terms of salary & benefits in Italy - Smart and inspiring colleagues who care about their job - Everyone is supportive, and colleagues are always willing to go the extra mile when needed - Great culture of feedback which allows for immense growth - The best tech company in Italy for professional growth and boosting your CV

Cons

- The turnover rate is excessively high, creating a culture of instability where new hires feel viewed as 'temporary contributors' rather than part of the company, reflecting an American job culture rather than a European one - When a business is acquired, the model is to replace the existing team with spooners. This results in heavy understaffing inside Bending Spoons, even though the average skill level is very high - The HQ in Milan is too small, leading to overcrowded spaces as the hiring rate increases.
