Pros

Cool company to work for. I enjoyed my XX amount of years there. I met a lot of great people and got some great experiences out of it.

Cons

Obviously COVID took a major toll on toast and heard decisions needed to be made. What is sad is that Toast let get some of the best minds at the company. I'm talking about the best of the best. To save a dollar instead of stretching the dollar to get its max value. I wish they would have given us a reason as to why but I know I will never get that answer.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. As you mentioned, unfortunately, we needed to part ways with many talented and dedicated team members due to the impact that COVID-19 had on our industry. These types of decisions are never easy. Those impacted by our layoff made significant contributions to the success of Toast and will remain an important part of our Toast community. Our team is here to support you and our entire alumni community and we encourage you to keep in touch. - Jonathan Vassil, SVP/GM, SMB

Pros

The people you worked with become family. Amazing, talented, and smart contributors with a shared goal. Unlimited PTO was nice but pretty standard.

Cons

Company was heavily affected by the Covid-19 crisis and decisions had to be made to cut payroll. While I don't fault Toast for making these tough choices to survive, the decisions that were made on who goes and who stays made absolutely no sense. It was pretty clear that the priority was to lower payroll across the board regardless of tenure history, and loyalty to the company. People who have been with Toast since the beginning were tossed aside to make way for contributors who were less experienced and therefore less expensive. They really just didn't care for the people that got the company to where it is now, extremely disappointing to see.

Thanks for leaving your feedback. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis, caused us to make several very tough decisions earlier this year. Unfortunately, the decisions to reduce our headcount impacted Toasters of all levels and tenure. We always have been and continue to be a company extremely dedicated to our people, past and present. Please let me know if there is anything I or the team can do to help better support you and the other alumni through this difficult time. - Jonathan Vassil, SVP/GM , SMB
