Pros

Employees are one of the best things Bending Spoons has to offer— Intelligent, talented, and caring individuals to work with and from whom you can always learn something new. There is no politics: Everyone works towards the same, shared goal, which means no energy spent getting into each other's way for any individual gain. I had the chance to experience what "meritocracy" really means, which is something that many companies advertize (but very few apply). Overall, the company invests a ton in all of us to ensure our needs are covered, from the most basic—like having kitchenettes full of food to snack on— to the least trivial ones—including psychological support. And I could continue for pages, writing about how fascinating the markets we work in are, how informal and down-to-earth everyone is, the values that we publicize on our website—which everyone believes in, and the company does a lot to preserve as we grow—, etc.

Cons

Standards are high, and for someone this can be daunting. If you thrive on challenges, it is one of the best places you can find to grow, personally and professionally. I certainly am a much better individual since I joined the company. If you dislike a demanding environment—let alone if you like "coasting"—you won't enjoy your time here.
