Pros

There are no positives to report. I met some nice people. I met many not nice people.

Cons

This is a story of trust and betrayal. I was offered the role, I was very excited. I turned down three other offers and moved my family from the Midwest. Upon arrival, I was told the VP who hired me had left the week before. Then I learned that my salary was not as promised. Since then, I have watched 6 new VPs go as quickly as they arrived. I have had 3 VPs of design in 18 months. If you are a researcher, I would look elsewhere. It is really toxic

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear of your unhappiness. Seeing existing staff leave and welcoming new colleagues can sometimes be stressful. However, we would like to address some of your comments with the following: According to the latest statistics (provided by LinkedIn), tech companies have the highest rate of turnover of any industry. We are very proud that here at BOLD, our employees stay longer than the industry average of 1.8 years and continually report on the great work/life balance, perks, and culture they enjoy here at BOLD.

Pros

Work from home, great benefits, flexible PTO, competitive pay, bonus structure, 401k match.

Cons

A more Horizontal corporate structure than most other companies can leave you working more independently than most other companies. It's a global company so some of your partners may be on the other side of the planet. It's a very asynchronous company and some employees may struggle to adjust to the freedom and accountability.

Pros

The product managers were very helpful. They are the reason why Bold gets one star. Also, if you've been there for 4 years or more, you seem to like it.

Cons

I've never been so stressed in the first 30 days of a job. The senior manager gossiped about me and didn't have the knowledge to execute or to properly define expectations. I couldn't get feedback or clear expectations from the VP on down. It was like I was supposed to read minds. My advice is to run away.
