I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bending Spoons (Milan) in Apr 2022
Interview
Initially there was a meeting with the recruiting manager who descibed the entire process. (7 problem sets to be solved offline + 2 tech interviews + 1 HR interview). The problem sets were mostly logical sets, and 2 sets for DSA (All sets had time limits). Next there was another HR interview followed by the tech interviews.
In my experience, communication in the technical interviews can be challenging if you're not well-versed with the Italian accent. Very lengthy process overall.

I am still on 3rd stage, I have cleared 2 assessments. I dont know what to expect from the interview or how many more stages there are but from what I have heard , I guess atleast 2-3 interviews
Online screening in a zoom call with a recruiter. With some questions asked about the job, some about strengths and previous experiences as well as a few questions about the company
There was a task round and then some interviews. The process tests a lot of logical reasoning and quick thinking. The interviews were mostly focused around soft skills and problem solving. If you like logic puzzles this process is pretty interesting.
