Bolt Reviews

The company hires employees for new personalities not to solve the company's tasks, but because other companies have such positions. All correspondence in messengers, including private messages, is inspected by management. There is no concept of confidentiality. HR employees easily share personal information about other employees not only with management, but also with other companies. The company dismisses competent employees who point to existing problems in the company, giving preference to incompetent employees who do not give anything useful, but are friends with senior management. While I was working here, several good engineers was suddenly fired, and no one knows where are they and what happened. But we knew, that they was asking question, really good and important questions.

- Low pay - Generally very stingy culture: they think they are being efficient but they are just being cheap and nearsighted - Terrible communication skills across the board - They promise you a lot before you join then once you're in the door, they completely change their tone - Very very subtle racism: If someone from Estonia or Russia has strong opinions or is even rude, they are celebrated as tough but caring. If someone from a country with darker people has a different opinion or pushes back in any way, they are labeled as hard to work with - Lots of gossip for a company that is 70% male - No creativity - Lots of small-mindedness and hubris: because they are all from small and/or poor countries, they don't realize how crappy and small Bolt is compared to other companies. - They all are hoping for a big IPO, but -- and this is my personal opinion -- if they go public, all of their weak business fundamentals will become clear to the world and any publicly traded Bolt stock will drop hard and fast
