What is Bending Spoons?

Bending Spoons acquires established digital products and transforms them. The portfolio includes Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Komoot, Meetup, Remini and StreamYard, serving hundreds of millions of users. Rather than building from zero, teams take over products people already love and rebuild them to their standards.

The company is headquartered in Milan with an office in London and expansion planned to Madrid and Warsaw. Around 600 Spooners work at a company valued at several billion dollars, and it has been ranked first in Italy's Best Workplaces four times (2025, 2023, 2020 and 2019) and third in Europe's Best Workplaces in 2025.

Why Bending Spoons is exciting to work for

The pitch is dramatic career acceleration: responsibility is earned through impact, not prior experience, and Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Small autonomous teams take on outsized scope. A 30-person team shipped more than 80 improvements to Komoot, including a full multi-platform redesign, in nine months; a five-person WeTransfer squad launched a feature now used by millions in three weeks.

Compensation is explicitly top-of-market, including for interns, with annual peer-reviewed adjustments each Q4, and every posting publishes its salary range. Permanent hires can take part of their pay in discounted company equity. Benefits include unlimited time off, flexible hours, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-market health insurance, generous parental support, and annual company retreats in places like Bali, the Seychelles and Mauritius.

It is also a rare European company operating at global consumer scale. If you want to work on products with hundreds of millions of users without moving to the US, there are not many alternatives.

What to expect from the culture

Radical candor is a founding principle: difficult conversations are expected, and feedback is direct. The company publishes its operating standards, including a set it openly calls controversial principles, so you can read exactly what you are signing up for before applying.

Onboarding happens in Milan. Every posting carries the same expectation: you spend most days in the Milan office during your first few months, regardless of your long-term work location, because in their words it is the best way to absorb the culture and build trust with teammates. Travel and accommodation are financed. After the ramp-up you work remotely from an approved country, or from an office in Milan, London, Madrid or Warsaw, depending on what you agree at the offer stage.

Performance is assessed by colleagues, not just managers: annual Q4 reviews are based on how your peers rate your contribution, and compensation follows from that.

How to get hired at Bending Spoons

The process usually starts with a resume screen, followed by challenging tests that may involve unfamiliar problems and can take several hours, then interviews. It runs entirely online and takes from a few weeks to a few months. Screening prioritizes verifiable signals of excellence over seniority, there are no preferential paths, and their own advice is not to self-reject over an imperfect CV. Applications go through their careers page only, you can have one open at a time, and after a rejection the wait to reapply is at least one year. Roles can stay open for months: they do not extend an offer until they are confident they found the right person.

Bending Spoons sponsors visas and residency for roles based in Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK, and relocation support covers transportation and temporary accommodation for you, your close family and your pets, plus a dedicated relocation buddy for the bureaucracy.
