Pros: Good work-life balance for the most part.

Cons: Could use higher pay based on location.

Pros: Keen to clear out tech debt.

Cons: Devote an inordinate amount of time navigating around the key political players. Decisions are not made transparently, and power is held within the top few players. Engineering/Prod top management, without much deliberation nor consultation, make hasty decisions, which we do not understand. Two-way communication and feedback is heavily discouraged, resulting in fear of giving management suggestions and ideas. There have been a few colleagues who have tried pushing for organizational change and improvements, but were quickly terminated. It is very unfortunate. Management is trying hard and studying Kim Scott's Radical Candor, but power still lies with the few people, and not "from the truth". Lack of 401K matching.

Pros: The culture at Toast is superb. The leadership in the company clearly cares about making Toast a great place to work, and it shows! The opinions and contributions of every team member are valued and respected, making the problem-solving process enjoyable, inclusive, and perhaps most importantly.

Cons: Nothing I can think of.
