Pros

The people here are really nice.

Cons

The entire codebase is a shitstorm, fixing one thing breaks another and the management doesn't seem to care. Everything is outdated and barely works. I don't know how people are entrusting their business with this fragile product.

Toast Inc Response

Thank you for this candid feedback. I am sorry you feel like your work is just doing fixes and that it seems to you that your managers don’t care. I can assure you that we care deeply about the quality of our codebase and the experience of the people working on it. As with any large scale enterprise solutions there are always opportunities for code simplification. Our latest innovations with Android moduralisations, microservice and s.p.a. have delivered first-rate codebase solutions and a focus of our group code pairing sessions is to give all engineers the skills to adopt these technologies as part of their routine. I'd really like to get your insights on how we can further accelerate simplification of our codebase. You can engage on this topic anonymously via OfficeVibe or you can reach me or any other R&D leader in Dublin or Boston office via the usual means. - Robert McGarry, VP Engineering

Pros

Excellent colleagues, plenty of room for growth and self directed work. Effort and results are rewarded.

Cons

Very frustrating development environment (slow and unstable), little tenure knowledge of company products as the Dublin office is only a year old.

Toast Inc Response

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm so glad that you're finding opportunity to make an impact and collaborate with peers. However, I'm sorry to hear that you've found our dev environment to be frustrating. We are actively making strides to increase the quality, reliability and scalability of our platform, which should make the dev environment easier to work in. I would appreciate direct email input on the specifics to make sure we have it all covered/in works. - Hugh Scandrett, VP, Engineering

Business Outlook

Pros

- the vibe of a startup even when they grew massively over the last year - really interesting projects - extremely collaborative and great environment to work in

Cons

- had some mild sexism from some of the workers

Toast Inc Response

I also love that we still have a start up vibe despite our growth and maturation. I think that this is a huge part of what makes our work culture so unique. That being said, I'm concerned about your comment regarding mild sexism as we do not tolerate it in the workplace. To the extent that you feel comfortable, I would love to chat about this so that we can take actionable steps to address it. - Sarah Castle, HRBP, Engineering and Product
