Bolt·Product Manager·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a PM role at Bolt and got a product sense question about Amazon's homepage. Pretty open-ended, which I wasn't fully prepared for.
  • How would you improve Amazon's homepage?

“I went straight into listing features, which in hindsight was the wrong move.”

Bolt·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
Bolt SWE interview with a coding question that sounds simple but has a twist once you start thinking about edge cases.
  • Implement a string sorting algorithm where digit characters are treated as their numeric values rather than their ASCII values.

“My first instinct was to just use a comparator and call it a day, but the digit-as-number part tripped me up more than I expected.”

Bolt·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

May 2026
Interviewed for a bizops role at Bolt. Just the one question I can recall, classic supply-side strategy framing, and I don't think I nailed it.
  • How would you incentivize more driver presence on the platform?

“I went straight to surge pricing and bonus structures, which felt obvious the moment I said it out loud.”
