Process
Three rounds, increasingly involved in both technical and soft interview questions.
Pros: Friendly, dedicated, and inspiring people – this convinced me to join this company.
Cons: The interview is a bit too generic, and the questions are becoming common and well-known. I know this is also the norm for FAANG: interview with whoever is available, then team-match. BUT since the company is still young and top recruiting priorities are not that many, having future teammates as interviewers would improve the overall experience for both sides. As a Bolt employee, I would like to see our possible future teammates in the interview, as opposed to receiving an announcement of some random dude who passed the bar and is coming our way.
Questions
