Nepo at its finest

Pros

- Decent compensation - Decent benefits - Nice work pace - Large engineering presence

Cons

- Don't expect growth unless you're coming from Square or somewhere that the engineering managers worked for before. Nepotism is extremely prevalent here. - You need broad shoulders to carry the blame you'll get when issues arise - Toast will hire less-experienced engineers to elevated positions, and then require the tenured employees to pick up the slack, all while never promoting from within.
