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.
