Sr. Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The interview process consisted of a phone screen followed by multiple technical interviews covering different concepts, including LeetCode medium problems, API design, requirements gathering, system design, and more. Behavioral interviews with leadership were also part of the process.
The recruiting team did a great job keeping me informed about what to expect in the technical interviews. The interviewers were very kind and respectful, and I never felt intimidated. Each problem felt like a conversation, and you will get out of the process what you put into it. I left each interview feeling good overall, even if the problem was challenging.

Toast Work Experiences
- 5.0Fast-growing and profitable companyStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandNovember 14, 2025Pros: Growing to new markets. Building a great product, helping restaurants thrive. It depends on the team, but if you are lucky, you'll work on an interesting project and will be able to drive improvements and affect the roadmaps. Company culture is great overall.Cons: Some PMs are highly incompetent, but due to the company culture, they continue working on the products they don't fit. Some top management decisions (like laying off the team owning e2e tests without a replacement) are weird and affect the product's quality. Company policy does not allow people to grow to the principal+ levels if they work on a single product, as there is an official list of boxes you need to 'tick,' and one product (regardless of how great you've established it) doesn't count.
