HistoryBolt has 10 locations across the US and has offered sporadic employee wellness events in the past, but nothing long term. There are two teams at Bolt which are divided into day-to-day operations and the delivery team. The office employees often work late nights and the delivery team is often on the road for long stretches, sometimes going weeks without seeing fellow coworkers. They have quarterly all hands on deck meetings where the entire company comes together to discuss quarterly earnings.
