Toast Inc Program Manager reviews

Can be tone deaf at times. Especially when VPs are posting pictures of their new backyard pool/spa while there is a reduction in workforce. Also seems like RIFs are not strategic but only based on pay scales.

I had wrongly assumed that there would be elements of a software company type culture where people are empowered, given autonomy to make decisions as knowledge workers given the nature of the product. I was very off the mark, The leadership culture is old fashioned, lacking trust and out of touch with modern software companies. (I’ve worked in many). People are afraid to challenge management for fear of lay offs (which are regular). There’s no clear direction or goals leaving people questioning if there doing the right work, this then works in the favor of redundancy cycles as there’s nothing defined as valuable work.
