Great place for growth
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
March 10, 2022
Pros: The company is growing, and there are lots of opportunities for you to advance your career if that is something you're after.
I feel honored to work for such a great company, and I'm surrounded by smart people with a great culture.
I would say that Toast is not perfect. No company is.
The one thing I am always impressed with is that Toast has a lot of transparency, and we are continuously getting better as we learn from ourselves.
Cons: The compensation is reasonable, but I think there are opportunities for Toast to be just a little bit more competitive.
