Pros: Good team with a supportive culture.

Cons: Problems sometimes related to growth, while still trying to retain a startup mindset.

Pros: Really amazing colleagues and growth opportunities. I learn something new every day at Toast while building awesome products for our customers. The whole company is very goal-driven and works on certain values that we all believe in.

Cons: Sometimes, international collaboration is slow due to different time zones.

Pros: I'm so lucky to have worked several years at Toast. I rode the rocketship to IPO, and the money was life-changing. Just as important is the halo effect on my resume, having been at a top (local) tech company. I learned a lot about my domain, and it set me up very well for my next role. Pleasant, honest coworkers. A product with clear product-market fit. I'm rooting for Toast!

Cons: Being a public, mid-size tech company means there's less urgency and more bureaucracy. Many within Product and Engineering are coasting, which is great for WLB, but not great if you want to develop. There's an increased focus on cutting costs, so the days of a growing team are over, unless you are in the offshore offices. There's bad nepotism in the company. Family members of executives get positions and accelerated promotions. I'll never forget how we fired 50% of the company and canceled the internship program in 2020, but the CEO's daughter got an internship. It's demoralizing, but not a totally unique problem.
