Pros

Well known brand Good salary

Cons

At Bolt, there's a clear divide—two classes, really—with Eastern Europeans on one side, and everyone else on the other. The Eastern Europeans, they stick together, exchanging gossip on Telegram, plotting against the rest. They're intense about it, clearly feeling under threat, worried this job is their best shot in Eastern Europe. I get where they're coming from, but this dynamic? It's dragging the whole company down, causing some of the best talent to leave. The whole "customer first" mantra at Bolt? It's just lip service. Nobody there takes it seriously. And the communication between people? The worst. And during the interview process? They'll promise you everything, but once you're in, they deliver on nothing. There's a lot of inauthenticity at Bolt—people saying things that just aren't true, left and right. But if you speak Russian and are part of the “in” group, hey maybe you can make a few dollars and lift yourself out of poverty. Good for you. Everyone else, stay away.
