Process
Simple and quick, pretty much to the point. Couldn't ask for something more straightforward. The process involved a phone interview with several follow-ups, and then an offer was extended. What else could I say, other than it was a lovely process.

Our great culture was killed by placing profit above all else!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
February 13, 2024
Pros: - Flexibility to work remotely!
- Great learning opportunities!
- Interesting work and products!
Cons: - Low compensation when compared to other companies of this caliber.
- Leadership has destroyed company culture by putting profits above all else.
- Compensation and benefits keep getting cut.
- Incredibly high expectations (I enjoy this since it keeps things interesting, but it can be draining at times).
- Promotion opportunities are hard to come by.
- Unlimited time off means 4-5 weeks. This is not bad, but a bit dishonest.

A Great Place to Grow
Software Engineer • Current Employee
March 16, 2021
Pros: Toast offers an environment full of interesting problems and exciting innovations in our field. If you are a newer engineer, you will find mentorship all around and plenty of opportunities to test and grow your skills. If you are a more seasoned engineer, you'll be able to practice what you've learned on a scaling architecture.
Cons: Sometimes the shape-shifting of the organization can feel a little sloppy, and folks will get "left behind" in awkward re-arrangements of teams. I've seen this happen quite a few times and know firsthand how jarring it can be to have a new manager suddenly, without warning.
With that said, Toast is a young start-up, and these events sort of come with that package. As the company continues to mature, hopefully so will its communication process with its employees of all levels.
