I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toast Inc (Boston, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
After a phone call with their technical recruiter there were two remote interviews via collaborative editor and webcam. Then they invited me out to an on-site in Boston where there we did 3 whiteboarding interviews, a conversational interview, and lunch over the course of 5 hours.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Toast Inc
Leetcode style 1 hr technical along with 1 hr behavioral with pretty standard questions. Interviewers were both really nice and hardest part of technical were the follow-up questions but the interviewer was very helpful.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Toast Inc (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
Overall, the interview experience was good, with questions ranging from a moderate to slightly challenging level. There were a total of four rounds, and the difficulty progressively increased with each stage. The initial rounds focused on fundamental concepts and gradually moved toward more in-depth problem-solving and advanced topics in later rounds. This progression allowed for a structured evaluation of both core understanding and the ability to handle complex scenarios.
