Process
The interviewer did not connect to the agreed call for 10 minutes. I received an email stating there was a mix-up and another person would interview me last minute. The interview lasted 15 minutes less due to their mix-up: the interviewer was kicked out of his meeting room before we could finish.
There were also different interviewers for the exact same position, which was extremely strange. Other successful candidates were asked how to check if a string is a palindrome, while I was asked a graph traversal question, which took longer for me to code.
Overall, they were very unprofessional and it was a waste of time. The last-minute replacement interviewer did not have enough time to properly conduct the interview and was clearly not on the same page as the other interviewers regarding the level of difficulty.

Toast Work Experiences
- 2.0Great Culture, Awful LayoffsSoftware Engineering • Former EmployeeChennai, Tamil Nadu, IndiaJuly 31, 2023Pros: Work culture was the best. A good amount of training was provided. Yes, we got free food, and overall it felt like a dream place to work in.Cons: Talking about the "backstab"! The management never really had a clear idea of what they were doing. Without thinking whether or not they really needed interns for future resources, they took on plenty of interns, promising them full-time jobs. Interns, being students placed from college, had their entire hope on Toast, since almost all interns performed well and were put inside teams. They gave more hopes by extending the internship period beyond 6 months. BRUH! And then they laid off everyone, giving us a lame excuse of "We unfortunately are facing budget issues and can't convert you guys to FT." It was so obvious all this happened because of miscommunication and also because of the new VP from Bangalore. I hope everyone around here came from a middle-class background and reached the level where they are. I just hope they would know that all interns are from middle classes too and would be able to relate how they would feel if they lost their jobs unfairly. Lies... Budget problem? But so many were promoted. If there was really a budget problem, a decent company would have held up promotions and managed these large amounts of interns.
