Good if you like doing nothing and want to do even less in the future
The office is alright; everyone is chill.
- Outdated stack, libraries, dependencies, and tools.
- Custom in-house backend framework with raw SQL queries (no ORM), a custom UI framework, and most tooling are built in-house. If you think that it results in a terrible development experience, then you're absolutely right!
- Microservices that are built by people who don't know how to do microservices (one SQL table in each service, yay!).
- In general, the art of building good software is completely forgotten here, and over time, you'll just get used to writing bad code yourself.
- With the recent preparations for an IPO, you get all the cons of big corporations but none of the pros yet.
In general, I do not recommend it unless this is the end of your career and you just want to find a final job where you'll learn nothing and eventually will just retire.

Bolt Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Very oriented toward problem-solving and communication, not on rote knowledge. All interviewers were very nice and polite, making it a very good overall experience. The only point is that I think there's an above-average number of interviews to go t

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. The HR lady was rather nice. The tech interview was cringe. Asking the difference between HTTP and HTTPS in the big 2026 should be considered poor taste for a company of Bolt's scale.

Typical LeetCode-style questions. The process was lengthy with several steps. I had to reschedule once when the interviewer didn't show up at all. I wasn't even sure if they had a job opening.
