Bending Spoons is a joke company that buys company with hopes to restructure them to meet some nonsensical financial numbers made up in an excel spreadsheet.

Still have no idea why they have so many job applications, they don't actually hire.

AFAIK (I am Italian) they have a very long and difficult hiring process, comparable to a FAANG.

No one gets in I guess. The coding challenges never end.

1.5 billion used to be an absolute ridiculous number to pay for a company not long ago. AOL? 1990s AOL?

But with 5 trillion dollar companies these days that are "worth" more than the entire GDP of Germany, why not. It's not real. It's just a number on a computer at this point.
