Vantaggi
- Office is pretty modern and nice, with some spaces to relax and have fun. - You may get to work with some of very qualified peers, although after a recent mass layoff, almost everyone is looking for a career move.
Svantaggi
Bold surfed on the wave of e-commerce boom with Shopify apps: as Shopify grew, Bold grew as well. After Shopify changed the rules of the game and made it harder for its app developers to make money, Bold decided to go after new markets, and that's when things really went downhill. For the past 2 years, the quality of their products and of work on some departments really tanked. Competitors have crushed the company's market share with better products and good strategy. The CMO, guided by the CEO has been trying to position the company in a way that no one understands (not even them). Top-down decisions have been hurting the company dramatically as they fail to understand the market and simply don't care about what anyone else think. As a result of this catastrophic senior management, employee turnover is sky-rocketing. The company is no longer able to attract good talent (the few ones that fall for their HR pitch leave after a few months). Also, in early 2022, the CEO cold-bloodedly announced in a Zoom meeting that 10% of its employees would be fired to "right-size" the company - all employees were mentally tortured for 4 hours while the HR was calling one-by-one to terminate their employment. If you care for your mental health and your future, Bold is not the place for you. The lack of company direction harshly punishes honest and hard-working employees.
