Pros

Co-workers in IE and US are very close-knit and are great people to be around.

Cons

Changes at the top level of R&D have brought in exectutives that surround themselves with their own yes-people. This group have started killing teams and restructuring others. Any dissenting voices are either shouted down or are "not a team player". Hiring freezes yet increasing workload is causing burnout on all fields while the people in charge write emails & posts with hollow platitudes yet have not listened to anything. Reviews are more difficult, with VPs unilaterally lowering performance grades and promotions are essentially no longer an option for many people.

Pros

The benefits and health insurance are amazing and the company culture as a whole is very positive. It was a pleasure to work with almost everyone I met in my time there.

Cons

Lower management, especially for care teams, deeply lacks integrity. Retaliatory practices, lack of communication, and failure to adhere to their own policies are very common behavior depending on who your manager is. The inconsistencies across what is expected from leadership are profound and it is disappointing how much this can derail your career trajectory at Toast. It’s also very difficult to help customers at times, as Toast is notorious for launching new products at customers and providing little to no support to agents that are then expected to troubleshoot using sparse or nonexistent resources and absolutely no training. Cross-collaboration with teams that occasionally intersect is also very challenging, particularly Sales/Onboarding and Care. There were many instances where sales and onboarding specialists set customers up with false expectations of the product, which leaves care teams to deal with the aftermath.
