I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bolt in Jun 2026
Interview
HR lady was rather nice.
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.
The guy seemed like a robot, soulless perfect answers for my questions, no expressions.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What happens when you enter URL into a browser. What's the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. What encryption does HTTPS use and why would we need HTTPS.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bolt (Warsaw, Masovia) in May 2026
Interview
My first two technical interviews with the people in Estonia went quite well. However, the API design interview I had afterwards with the person in Poland was the worst interview I have ever had.
4 interviews
1. Tech screen - implementing an API
2. Code review - find bugs in a service, it leans toward a systems design approach
3. System design - checks the basics, not predefined answers
4. Team fit - a discussion with the hiring team
