I didn't make past first interview round
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bolt (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
Screening ,
Followed by Take home assignment
Followed by 3 interviews Rounds (Technical, Business and Final ]
Take home assignment was long. Takes around 4-5 days to complete.
I had one technical round.
If you're considering the take-home task, I'd suggest only doing it if you enjoy these kinds of challenges for fun. If you're currently working and time is limited, it might be more efficient to direct team to your existing projects or request a HackerRank test instead. Personally, I felt that the task was more time-consuming than necessary, and it might be more beneficial to apply for roles like Uber L5A, where the process is more streamlined and aligned with assessing relevant skills.
