WE LOVE A GOOD REASON TO CELEBRATE.

We celebrate birthdays, work anniversaries (dubbed “Boltiversaries”), our integrated team wins, and we can’t forget baby showers, holiday parties, virtual happy hours and more. Still, we think the best cause for celebration is the incredible work of our teammates. So we’ve institutionalized recognition and every day wins as part of our DNA, in ways both big and small, throughout the journey of one’s time here. Cue the confetti!
